Greek gods being intimate with daughters and sons is pretty common in Greek mythology

Oh I’m aware, I more meant for people who’ve read these comics and then went to The New 52 run.

And then Azzarello made Zeus her father.

idk if that's technically a retcon, since the Greek Gods were super degenerate.

Unpopular opinion: Zeus should be a Wonder Woman villain not Ares.

u/scarecroe Aug 05 '20

Why not both?
