Seriously, bringing demons into the discussion can only confuse things.
Everyone knows that demons are interdimensional travelers, not gods or godlings despite what they may tell you. And most of them are just faking it, anyway.
Trying to use ordinary genetics to describe divine makeup is pretty pointless, I suspect. To quote Charles G. Finney’s Doctor Lao:
“…An unbiological order, I call it, because it obeys none of the natural laws of heredity and environmental change, pays no attention to the survival of the fittest, positively sneers at any attempt on the part of man ro work out a rational life cycle, is possibly immortal, unquestionably immoral, evidences anabolism but not katabolism, …Mysticism explains them where science does not.”
Also, keep in mind that Gilgamesh was , according top his preserved Epic, 2/3 god and 1/3 man. Explain that with your fancy, mortal-based genetics!
Actually, the methods are the same. Remember that Zeus came down to Danae in a shower of gold, after which she gave birth to Perseus. So just like Mendel, the gods experimented with genetics using a pee.

Latin colocynthis is a loanword from Greek κολοκυνθις meaning ‘A tendril-bearing Old World vine (Citrullus colocynthis) bearing yellowish, green-mottled fruits the size of small lemons.’ They look like round gourds. The plant name is derived from Greek κολοκυνθη ‘round gourd’. Pumpkins grow on tendril-bearing vines too, so the translator used a sort of loose analogy with Cucurbita pepo. But the colocynth (it’s in the English dictionary, I looked it up for you) has a very bitter taste–in Arabic it’s proverbial for bitterness–and medicinally it was used as a powerful laxative. So the satirist used it to imply more unpleasantness than we would find in pumpkins, which after all make yummy pie.
That’s very interesting, Johanna. So…Zeus had sex…with a pumpkin? Is what you’re telling us?
Johanna’s referring back to my post #5.
But it wouldn’t surprise me if Zeus had sex with a pumpkin. He had sex in all kinds of ways.
