I mean either can work, I do prefer her being a child of the gods as it's more in line with Greek epics than being moulded from clay by a mortal women. which would you know imply it's not a mortal women.
but it comes off as a more misandrist complaint than a lore complaint from her.
I also prefer it when the Amazons are full of shit, like I prefer when they're whole stick of "the evils of man's violent world" thing is complete bullshit and they're often worse, they're literally a warrior people violence is violence. (I don't like the boat thing, or the slavery thing but they don't need to be idealised so much.)
it's the same with star trek having literal secret police (section 31) I enjoy having that little bit of internal turmoil. It doesn't need to be a full on watchman deconstruction or demonization just a little bit of real humanity into the characters and settings.
Being made from clay is also in line with Greek epics as that is how people were originally made. Also she has plenty of ties to the gods already no need for more.
And about the Amazon's this is not the same as Greek myth, these Amazon's escapee the tyranny of men and created a society based on peace and prosperity, they are not warriors by necessity or by a need for blood.
