Now, another genetic thing that confused me was Apollo having a son with another man as mentioned in the newest series. It was brushed off as "i'm a god, no need logic, lol" but I really want to know how it worked. Was the man pregnant? Was Apollo pregnant? How did the genetics mix? From what I understand, male x male DNA cannot create another human being. They don't mesh.

By this logic, all virgin goddess should have kids (aka, Hera, Hestia etc). If it's possible to have a kid  through a non-sexual manner, then there's no reason they shouldn't have at this point. Nobody goes thousands of years without once wanting a kid. Hera especially as she has even stated wanting a half-blood child but also stating that she couldn't have any. If Apollo can have a child with a male, why can't Hera have a half-blood through a non-sexual mean? In fact, in mythology, Hera made herself pregnant without a man. A half-blood child shouldn't be a problem. This seems like a glaring plot hole Rick didn't consider.

Sorry if this is off topic but I think it's related to the whole genetics thing.
