She had a mortal mother and she inheritaded her traits
I believe you're talking about Leda, who bore four children at one time, but only two of those children were his. Leda laid two eggs (because Zeus slept with her in the form of a swan) - in one egg, there were two girls, Helen and Clytemnestra. In the other egg, there were two boys, Castor and Pollux. However, only Helen and Pollux were the children of Zeus. Clytemnestra and Castor were the children of Leda's mortal husband Tyndareus.
Yes. She is the only daughter of Zeus and Metis. However, Athena would have many half siblings considering her father is Zeus. Some of them would be Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hermes, Persephone, Dionysus, Hebe, Eris, Hercules, Perseus, and Helen.
Zeus had many mortal sons, although the best known was Heracles(called Hercules by the Romans.) Some others include: Tantalus, Alexander the Great(in Myth only, in reality he was the son of Phillip II,) Castor and Pollux, Sarpedon Minos and Rhadamanthys, Perseus, and Arcas.
Actually Zeus had many mortal wives he hid from Hera, his real wife who was a goddess Some of Zeus lovers were named Io ( she didn't have any children to Zeus but Zeus loved her so much that he turned her into a white cow to keep her safe from Hera), Europa ( she gave birth to Minos the king of the Minoans Danae ( she gave birth to Perseus the great Greek hero), Alcmene ( she gave birth to Heracles or as Romans called the little Greek hero Hercules), and Leda ( she gave birth to Helen of Troy! Helen not only was the most prettiest girl in the world but so enchanting the Trojan war was fought over after she left with a man named Paris whom she fell in love with. also Leda birth to the Greek hero Polydeuces). There are many more mortals, nymphs, titaness, demi - goddess half - goddess and goddess Zeus has fallen in love with. I know you're thinking: wow Zeus isn't a very good husband. He isn't. Look even Greek gods make mistakes.Answer 2:PLease do not call his lovers wives!
Athena was the only child of Zeus and Metis. Considering her father was Zeus, she would have many half siblings. Some of them would be Ares, Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Persephone, Perseus, Helen, and Hercules.
Her beauty was her symbol. She did not have a symbol like Zues had his lightning bolt. This is because she is only a demi godess. Her father, Zeus, was a God, but her mother, Leda, was a mortal.

Gods had symbols. Helen was human (or, at best, a demi-goddess) and everybody praised her beauty, which cannot be called a symbol. Her beauty was her symbol. She did not have a symbol like Zeus had his lightning bolt. This is because she is only a demi godess. Her father, Zeus, was a God, but her mother, Leda, was a mortal.

Only Hera was considered Zeus' official wife, but Zeus had countless other relationships with mortal and immortal beings.

The only god in Greek mythology to have a mortal parent is Dionysus. His mother, Semele, was a mortal woman and his father was Zeus, the king of the gods. Dionysus is the god of wine, fertility, and ritual madness.

Ariadne -- the only daughter of Helen of Troy

In Greek mythology, Leda (Λήδα) was daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius, and wife of the king Tyndareus, of Sparta. Her myth gave rise to the popular motif in Renaissance and later art of Leda and the Swan. She was the mother of Helen of Troy, Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux. Leda was admired by Zeus, who raped her in the guise of a swan. As a swan, Zeus fell into her arms for protection from a pursuing eagle. Their consummation, on the same night as Leda lay with her husband Tyndareus, resulted in two eggs from which hatched Helen-later known as the beautiful Helen Of Troy, Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux (also known as the Dioscuri-also spelled Kastor and Polydeuces). Which children are the progeny of Tyndareus, the mortal king, and which are of Zeus, and are thus half-immortal, is not consistent among accounts, nor is which child hatched from which egg. The split is almost always half mortal, half divine, although the pairings do not always reflect the children's heritage pairings. Castor and Polydeuces are sometimes both mortal, sometimes both divine. One consistent point is that if only one of them is immortal, it is Polydeuces In Homer's Iliad, Helen looks down from the walls of Troy and wonders why she does not see her brothers among the Achaeans. The narrator remarks that they are both already dead and buried back in their homeland of Lacedaemon, thus suggesting that at least in some early traditions, both were mortal. The consensus is that Helen and Polydeuces were the immortal children of Zeus, while Castor and Clytemnestra were the mortal children of Tyndareus. Leda also had other daughters by Tyndareus: Timandra, Phoebe, Philonoe.
No. Athena is a daughter of Metis and Zeus. Leto's only children are the twins, Artemis and Apollo.
