I thought you said she was a mortal- sorry.

She was Goddess of the Spring.

I think we should ask where Jesus got that piece of Y chromosome to become male. God is powerful, but can't beat someone in a wrestling match. So, is he so powerful he doesn't have to use DNA or is he still limited by the palate presented to him by biochemistry, in which case he is more like a technologically advanced human? Maybe rather than trying to patch all the holes in a tribal myth, maybe we should just reexamine what would be plausible. And what about the "sons of God" refered to in Genesis. Jesus had brothers? Were these prototypes? Failures?

Genesis 6

1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal ; his days will be a hundred and
twenty years."
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of men
and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
