Demigods
Demigod can refer to different beings:
- The offspring of a god and a human being[1] or of something else.[2]
- An humanoid being possessing attributes close to godlike, and who was probably not worshiped by humans.[1]
- Such case in modern days could include María Aracely Penalba, who was said to be the reincarnation of the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli.[3] Her DNA classified her as human,[4] while she was classified as a Demigod,[5] notably by the Evolutionaries.[6]
- The Egyptian god Khonshu presented himself as a demigod, at least while possessing Marc Spector.[7]
Among the Olympians, the only significant difference between gods and demigods seems to be in social status.[2]
