The term “demigod” refers to a being in mythology who is half divine and half mortal. Typically, demigods are the offspring of a god and a human, possessing extraordinary abilities or attributes from their divine parent while also experiencing human emotions and vulnerabilities. Famous examples include figures such as Hercules in Greek mythology. Demigods often serve as heroes in myths, illustrating themes of struggle, sacrifice, and the complexities of dual nature in their quests for acceptance, identity, or greater purposes in the divine and mortal realms.
