All of greek mythology is just Zeus fucking random mortals and then dealing with the consequences. Its basically just a religion about a god who couldnt keep his dick in his pants.
@freemo
immediate search results end unfruitful in both of the prior inquiries. If I ever find examples ill list them here. I totally agree with the greek mythos though.
@lucifargundam Just did a search for a complete list for you (linked below).. seems there are a few more examples than I could recall but not many... the fairly complete list shows Egyptian religion had only 3 demigods, Norse only 3, and Greeks, well looks like at least 2 dozen or more.

@freemo
just reviewed my notes on Norse mythos and I see where i was mistaken- even though Loki had multiple children- they were from different mothers which reclassifies the childrens status.
@lucifargundam I am only aware of Sleipnir as Loki's child, who are the others?
@freemo
https://mythus.fandom.com/wiki/Loki
Narfi and Vali (by Sigyn)
Jörmungandr, Hel, and Fenrir (by Angrboða)
Sleipnir (by Svaðilfari)
my original notes were taken while listening to an audiobook while working.
@lucifargundam Sigyn was a god not a mortal, Angrboa was a jötunn and also not a mortal. The only mortal among them is Svaðilfari (a horse) and the demigod horse thing sleipnir.
@freemo
yes, I agree. Sorry, let me rephrase what I said to what I meant to portray: "they were from different types of mothers which reclassifies their mortality accordingly"
So yeah, they were all inhuman and equivalently not mortal humans. Thus not of demigod status. Being half-jötunn and half-god doesn't make one demigod.
@lucifargundam ahh yes fair.. jotunn are weird though.. they kinda contradicted themselves on that. Like many literal godds were of jotunn descent including Odin himself.. so hard to say what a half-jotun half diety even is.. might just be a diety :)
@lucifargundam Far less so. In anctient Egyptian I only know of Imhotep who was a pharoh and likely used the demigod status as a way to strengthen his claim.
As for the Norse Odin had two demigod children and Loki had one, but I know of no others.
The greek went crazy with the idea though, there are dozens of demigods in greek mythology. At least a dozen of which are all children of Zeus, like he fucked EVERYONE with tits pretty much. Dude was a hornball.
