    Giving Wonder Woman a father, divine or not, creates Daddy Issues immediately. I would rather she was born immaculately to a woman, be it Hippolyta or whomever among the Amazons. The clay origin is horrible.

    Why is it horrible? The greek myths and many other religions have the clay origins? Maybe the best shot is having the amazons able to natural be able to have children together.

    Why? Maybe going by a bit of the stork idea the Amazons make a crib and wait to see if the gods will deliver a baby. If they do the closer they are to their home they get labor paints(you can get rid of this part.)

    The most recent origin for Cassie had her being Lennox's daughter, which would make her Diana's niece. But we've seen no trace of her in Rebirth (and don't know if Lennox exists in Rebirth).

    Parthenogenesis is far more preferable to prayed-for penis transformations.

    Why not have the Amazons take DNA and create a way to have babies

    This. It is realistic to have daddy issues, and it can be written well, but for WW, it just doesn't work. Although I disagree with the last sentence. Diana being molded from clay is about as integral to her character as batmans parents dying or krypton blowing up, no matter how hard they've tried to retcon it. It still exists as part of her character in 2017, even if it's somewhat of a "lie" now...

    This is in part why Marvel handles their characters better. They embrace the unique quirks of their characters and roll with it, as opposed to trying to have everything "realistic", which is ironic given the context of comics.

    Why can’t it be Hippoltya where she gets her divinity from?

    Hippolyta isn't a deity, and I don't think there's any reasons to make her one.

    (During Byrne's run, Ares "revealed" that Hippolyta was his daughter. This made no sense within the context of the Wonder Woman mythos, and he didn't explain it in any way, but, instead of questioning it, everybody around him - Amazons and deities - just nodded like, "Oh, right, sure thing." I don't remember any other writers making use of this detail, and it seems to have been retconned out as casually as Byrne retconned it in. In ancient Greek myth, Hippolyta is usually considered to be Ares' daughter - but , while Wonder Woman comics take some inspiration from Greek myth, they are not identical to it.)

    Making Hippolyta and her direct sisters be the demigod daughters of Ares and Otrera and having that be where Diana inherits her divine blood (if her father is a normal dude) would be an interesting way to do it and still have Diana be related to the Olympians. Otrera is a character ripe for exploration: what must she have been like for Ares to take her as his lover? Did she impart her ideals onto Hippolyta, or was she a savage Blood Knight whom Hippolyta wouldn't want to take after? It gives Diana not only a mother and aunts to have relationships with, but a grandmother as well.

    so that could explain the whole amazons also need their bracelets. To lock away their violent nature. I don’t think all the Amazons need to be Ares children. Just Hippoltya and her sisters like in the myth. Well, she is said to be the founder of the amazon and nothing more. I do think she should be the one to instill the amazon briefs Should Hippoltya's mom live? I mean thinking about it maybe Ares plan was that he would create a great warriors but their mother didn't and Ares and the Amazons fought.
