By Jupiter follows a group of Greek warriors who are on a quest to seize the Sacred Girdle of Diana from the Amazons. However, they soon discover that here the roles are reversed, with women ruling and men tending to household duties.

As the story unfolds with twists and turns, notions of gender equality and the battle of the sexes take center stage.
