: Prouves
: 1.She orders his killing heartlessly like a goddess not like a woman

She acts as she does because she thinks he has betrayed her love...also because it is in all the sources, her feeling that the only way she can be avenged for the way he treated her is by his death.

: 2.She wants him to be a hero so she sends him away if she really loved him she wouldn't need him to be a hero for her
Well, no, that is not how she puts it -
Zu neuen Taten, teurer Helde,
Wie liebt' ich dich, liess' ich dich nicht?
(How could I show my love for you, beloved hero, if I didn't let you go forth to new achievements?)

But it MAY be true that when she first claims him as her "prize" - he is to be the one to awaken her - she doesn't know what human love is.

: 3.She dies cause she lost her powers, father, lover and everything not cause she is really in love
