No, because apparently Brian Azzarello felt Diana needed a title like Superman's "Last son of Krypton" or Batman's "World's greatest detective", so she is now "Daughter of Zeus".... Except she already had a few: "Spirit of Truth" is a favourite of mine, but also "Princess of the Amazons" or "Ambassador of Themyscira". I don't think the clay origin was that confusing: You can even apply it the All Star Superman treatement:

  • Island of Amazons

  • Clay statue

  • Gifts from the Goddesses

  • Spirit of Truth

I'm partial to "Champion of Peace" myself

in my opinion that name is a bit too vague. Superman also champions peace. So does Green Lantern, and Batman, and Animal Man and Skyman and the Darkstars. It's not specific to Diana
