With that logic, all demigods should be born in the place their parents were. With Athena, it makes sense as it is how she creates her children. Apollo, on the other hand, has no reason to birth them on Delos. What about women he impregnates? Do they go through pregnancy for 9 months and the child is magically whisked to Delos during labor then back again when Apoolo returns the child to the mortal family? The Delos thing would only be if he was the one to get pregnant, which is only if that's how male god to male human intercourse works. I'm willing to buy that logic. Still doesn't explain the question as to why Hera and the other virgin goddesses (omit Athena) don't have kids. If maleXmale kids are possible, surely a virgin can have a kid without the need for sex (especially Hera who is a goddess of family and Artemis who is the goddess of fertility and is a midwife for the gods).
