Notes:
We learn that Hippolyta wants to hide the existence of Jason from the gods, fearing reprisal from Hera if she learns that Zeus fathered two children with Hippolyta. Diana is raised among the Amazons, but as Jason is a boy, it would raise suspicions if he lived there, so she arranges for him to be raised by Glaucus.
This issue shows 3 fishermen from Jason's crew. Stavros and Basil are 2 of the 3. The third bears no resemblance to Mateo (different clothing and facial hair), the 3rd member of Jason's crew identified in issue #34, but he does resemble the 3rd fisherman shown in issue #33. Either there is a 4th member of Jason's crew, or this is an artistic error and this should have been Mateo.
