Demigods

The term demigod (or demi-god), meaning half-god, is commonly used to describe mythological figures 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, or simply extremely powerful figures whose powers approach those of the gods even though they are not gods themselves.

These are some of the most famous demigods in Greek mythology.

Orpheus
Orpheus was a great man of many talents. He was born of the muse Calliope and Morpheus, the god of dreams. Since his mother was the muse of song and epic poetry, she taught him just that.

Phaeton
Phaeton was very inquiring. His father was Apollo and his mother was the nymph Clymene. One day Epaphos, his schoolmate, made fun of him saying his father was a god. In embarrassment he told his mother and begged for her to give him proof. She told him to go to his father and ask him himself if he was his child. And so he did. He traveled to far away India where the regions of the sun were. He stepped into the palace of the sun, but he couldn't go far because the sun was so bright he had to shield his eyes. He asked his father if his mother spoke the truth. Apollo said she did and to prove it he would grant Phaeton one request. Phaeton asked immediately to be able to drive the sun chariot for one day. Apollo shook his head and said he could fulfill any request but that. But he had sworn so he had to let him drive the chariot. On the day of his departure Apollo reminded him to not go too high as to burn the heavens, but not too low. But he did not listen very well because he was excited. He went too low and the hills caught on fire. As the earth was burning, she cried to Zeus to make the child stop. Zeus Immediately grabbed one of his thunderbolts and struck the chariot, killing Phaeton.

Hanuman
Hanuman is often called the son of the deity Vayu; several different traditions account for the Vayu's role in Hanuman's birth. One story mentioned in Eknath's Bhavartha Ramayana (16th century CE) states that when Anjana was worshipping Shiva, the King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was also performing the ritual of Putrakama yagna in order to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding (payasam) to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Vayu, the Hindu deity of the wind, delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it. Hanuman was born to her as a result.
