I've been wondering if maybe writers get too caught up in Diana's warrior aspects and focus too much on this, while ignoring other facets of her character. The Embassy is gone, she's now the Goddess of War and the Amazons have none of the reverence for intellectual, spiritual and artistic pursuits. I've heard some blame this on Perez for taking away the futuristic tech, but he still showed them as philosophers, artists, musicians etc. Plus Jiminez returned their tech in his run.
Is There Too Much Focus On The Warrior Aspects?
Yes, I think there's too much focus on both her warrior and Greek mythology aspects. It would be better to focus more on her interacting with her environment (e.g. think of Dejah Thoris 500 years prior to the arrival of John Carter) with occasional feats of strength, similar to the Messner-Loebs run; Dr. Psycho needs to be the main antagonist for now to ease us away from so much focus on Greek mythology.
I for one actually love how they're focusing more on the warrior and myth aspects (the Amazons were warriors in Greek myth). Though making her the goddess of war seemed to me like a unnecessary move, but in the hands of good writers, could make for some entertaining stories.
Not enough actually we need more details on what it mean to be the God of war and it look like we may get that answer in the finch run
@darknightspideyfanboy: I was thinking the same thing.
Hopefully in the near future her powers and title as Goddess of War become more fine tuned. (essentially what you said).

I know they were like that in the myths. I just don't see why they can't be more.
@csg_cl: Its not so much that they lost it, just that it hasn't been shown much yet. We do know they have Purple ray technology and powerful weapons thanks to the appearance of Hessia. It just hasn't appeared much. I think once things on Themyscira calm down, we will see more positive things from the Amazons.
