Wonder Woman’s “magic lasso” is believed to have been forged from Aphrodite’s magic belt which was bequeathed to Hippolyta (Wonder Woman’s mother) by the goddess. In order to make the lasso, the god Hephaestus borrowed the belt from Olympus, removed the ties and used it to create the lasso. It is unbreakable, infinitely expandable, and has the power to make those surrounded by it obey, and more specifically, to make them speak the truth.
