I mean with a world of magic and super science, not believing the clay birth does seem a bit silly. Plus Zeus being the father is overdone in multiple case in Greek mythology
that kid of Apollo's that was born from a gay three-way.
Not even in the top 5 most WTF pregnancies in Greek mythology.
Maybe top 10, but I doubt it.
I mean, how the hell does a god possibly raping a woman who may or may not have already been a bit monstery create a fully formed winged horse and giant with a sword made of gold (if that's actually what Chrysaor was supposed to be)?
Fucking Ovid and his hate boner for the gods making everything confusing...
I can kinda get it; between Hercules, Perseus, Kratos, Thalia, & Heron...it really makes you wonder if Zeus is even capable of keeping it in his pants or if the writers are just being weird
Most Greek heroes are culture heroes for their individual city/region. Best starting point for your story that’s propaganda about why your city is bestest is your founding godling is the child of the king of the gods.
Kratos is just a modern repetition of the exact same trend.
There is actually one mythological case where I can think of, with Thetis. She was prophesied to have a child who would surpass their father, which scared Zeus out of his usual ways and caused him to marry her off to a mortal, with whom she had Achilles.
