Demigod
A demigod (or demi-god), meaning half-god, is a originally Greek mythological figure whose one parent was a god and whose other parent was human; as such, demigods are human-god hybrids. In some mythologies it also describes humans who became gods, minor deities, or simply extremely powerful figures whose powers approach those of the gods even though they are not gods themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word demigod:
“We had the fairest view of Ktaadn.... The summit ... had a singularly flat, table-land appearance, like a short highway, where a demigod might be let down to take a turn or two in an afternoon, to settle his dinner.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
