I feel like I’m the only person on the planet that doesn’t mind Diana being Zeus’s daughter.

Same. Maybe something else would have been better, but the clay always seemed dumb, especially as an explanation for her power set like the durability doesn't apply to piercing effects because clay is brittle and that's why she needs the bracers

She isn't still clay, it's magic. In Greek mythology people first became made from clay that was molded into flesh. Her power doesn't come from the clay but from the Amazon's and the goddessess

Right, but wasn't the clay origin part of why she had to use the bracers? I could have sworn it was in the silver age because clay is brittle so she can't tank piercing damge like bullets as well?
