Were the sons of God mated with the daughters of man?

Key interpretations suggest "sons of God" refers to Sethites (godly lineage) or Cainites (wicked lineage), or literal angels, while "daughters of men" are the opposing group, leading to unions between righteous and wicked, or supernatural beings and humans, both contexts explaining the ensuing chaos and mighty offspring.
