re: #218 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

Kinda sorta. The Greek demigods resulted from Zeus and others mating with humans. But angels are not technically gods, so the nephilim were not really demigods in the same sense as Achilles and Herakles. Maybe they were hemidemisemigods.

Jesus, on the other hand, had a mortal mother and God was his father, so Jesus could be considered a demigod, in the Greek sense.

Yes, but!™
We should take into account that Zeus and the Olympians are nothing like YHWH. They’re more like angels in their abilities. So I’d still find the comparison apt.
