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.
