Alcinoe was a high ranking officer of Themyscira when "Athena" ruled the island.
History
In the hopes of luring female heroes to the island to recruit Female Furies, they had kidnapped Green Arrow. Alcinoe was part of the welcoming committee for Black Canary and Speedy. Her assessment of Speedy as unclean of body earned her an angry rant from the young heroine. When she then also commented on her unclean mind, Black Canary punched her to the ground. Even after drawing a sword, Alcinoe couldn't beat her. Athena considered the admonition sufficient and let the matter rest.

The Amazons frequently hold great festivals wherupon food is served.
