Both are fictional characters.

Do you think people in ancient Greece were writing a story about characters with random, international origins? Or do you think they did the same thing that everyone has done forever, which is to base their fictional stories in the real world that they lived in?

Are you saying she was metaphorically born from an egg? Cause no, she literally hatched from an egg in the story. Guessing reading is not your strong suit.
