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.

Just idle curiosity on my part, but is there anything in the Jewish religious and spiritual tradition such as the idea of demigods? I would think - and someone please correct me if I’m mistaken in this - that such an idea would certainly have been considered blasphemous in Judaism.
