demigod

A demigod is a mythical figure who is the offspring of a deity (god or goddess) and a mortal human. They possess qualities or powers beyond ordinary humans due to their divine heritage, but are not fully divine themselves. Demigods are often central in mythologies and legends, embodying both human vulnerability and divine strength. Examples include Hercules in Greek mythology, known for his extraordinary strength, and Heracles. They typically serve as heroes or figures of great importance, bridging the mortal and divine realms through their unique status.
