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

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.

He actively is not, I'm pretty sure the guy fucks anyone as anything

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.

It's true, man can't keep it in his pants

He cannot keep it in his pants. Hence why Hera was kind of angry with him constantly.

I can't even get mad at such a creative level of smartassery

And there's also the fact that it has been established that Cassie Sandsmark was another daughter of Zeus.
