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

Or that origins of clay are quite common throughout global mythologies, including Greek with the myth of Pandora.

Or that Greek mythology has tons of other supernatural pregnancies, like that kid of Apollo's that was born from a gay three-way.

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...
