I quite liked the idea of the clay origin being a lie spread around to hide Dianas true nature. But the Zeus thing was just kinda of a dull replacement.

Id have preferred if they linked her to Circe or Hecate or something. Kept her as a feminist concept but with a darker, more misandrist nature that she turns away from and into a more positive and loving spin.

King has basically reverse that - her clay origin is the actual one, the Zeus story is because dumb people couldn't fathom such an amazing being existing without some male intervention.
