Arguably? She just SHOULDN'T be able to take a skyfather. She should just lose. But then again, I have no idea what Zeus's powerset is.

Lariat of Truth: A lariat of tiny chain links, the Lariat of Truth (a.k.a. “Lasso of Truth,” “Magic Lasso” or “Lariat of Hestia”) is of limitless length and virtually indestructible. Neither god nor mortal can escape the lasso which, when being held by Diana, compels anyone bound by it to tell the truth. The lariat glows as if on fire and can apparently burn the flesh of those within its confines if those individuals are impure. Diana can apparently control the latter ability. Additionally, the lariat possesses anti-mystical abilities and can protect Diana and anyone within its scared circle from magical attacks.
Bracelets of the Aegis: Created from the hide of Amaltheia, the goat that wet-nursed Zeus, king of the Gods (whose hide eventually became Zeus’s and Athena’s shield), the indestructible Bracelets of the Aegis were forged from the fragments of Zeus’s shield. They allow Diana to deflect bullets, lasers, arrows, swords, energy blasts and other projectiles than would be able to penetrate her tough skin. When crossed, the bracelets emit an impenetrable, low-level force field around her.
Royal Tiara: Razor sharp, the tiara Diana wears can be thrown like a boomerang. The monster Scylla and god Deimos have had their heads severed by Diana’s use of the tiara as a throwing weapon.
Eagle Battle Armor: Diana’s ceremonial battle armor was forged specifically for her. Crafted by the Amazon artisan Pallas, this eagle-inspired armor allows for freedom of movement in close combat. The armor’s golden wings fold away when not in use, and enhance diving strikes when spread to their full span. The wings also provide additionally shielding from projectiles or blasts of energy.
Sword of Hephaestus: Diana’s sword, also forged by Hephaestus, is so sharp that it can cleave the electrons from an atom and even cut Superman!
Star Shield: Wonder Woman’s battle shield is molded from a remarkable ore once mined and smelted on Themyscira. This rare metal resists impacts and holds a keen edge. The shield demonstrated its considerable tensile strength when Diana used it to pierce the exo-armor of an Imperiex-Probe and to dissipate the devastating energies it would have used to destroy Earth.
Winged Sandals of Hermes: The sandals permit Diana to teleport from one place to the next and transverse dimensions. The sandals also grant anyone who wears them the ability to soar at tremendous speeds.
Gauntlets of Atlas: These bands increase, by a factor of ten, the strength and stamina of anyone who wears them.
Invisible Jet: Formerly a sentient being Diana called “Dome,” the Invisible Jet is now just a highly advanced vehicle Diana uses to travel with passengers and cargo. The Jet harnesses graviton particles- electrically neutral, gravity-defying quantum particles- for subsonic propulsion through air and space. If stranded in orbit, the Jet can reprocess Diana’s breath for up to two hours of breathable oxygen. Invisible to nearly all forms of detection, the Jet is capable of fashioning weapons out of its own substance. Although, doing so depletes the mass of its fuselage. It is not known whether or not the Jet has retained its ability to morph into other vehicles such as a motorcycle, submarine or chariot.
What I'm saying is that there should never be any amount of prep you can do to get you ready for a skyfather. There just shouldn't be.
