Demigod?

You are incorrect, you cannot be a demi-god from Greek mythology, life is not a Percy Jackson novel.

You're right life is a lot more than that. More then any of us can even comprehend.

In terms of enjoyment and quality, yes. In terms of actual reality, no.

Humans are humans, there is no in-between, myths are symbolic stories, allegorical tales. Authours still use them today, the metaphor is a great writing device.

Did Zeus really turn into a swan and impregnate a human woman? As far as I know swans and humans cannot mate...

But the golden rain really did happen didn't it?! Don't tell me he didn't impregnant a woman with his "golden rain". My dreams are crushed. That couldn't possibly be a euphenism like everything else phallic and sexual in mythology! It's real! I kid. :D Good post Hadit. You are not a demigod Josh. I assure you. Pretty much, if you were one, everyone would know. You would be in the news for some fantastical feat, like resurrecting someone from the dead. I would say the canonized saints of today were the demigods of yesturday. But, Poseidon could be your patron diety. That is very possible.

Ok, in most myths the impossible happened and what they had written for we know could be true but it also might be false. Also keep in mind that if us as humans can not explain why something happened it is considered not to be true and no amount of proof well change their mind so I guess it all depends on how open of a mind you have and if you compare the myths and religions to one another and look for what is different and what is the same.

You are presupposing that these beings actually exist, you cannot know this for sure, but merely believe it. There is a difference.

What's more is that I can absolutely assure you that if I did wholly believe in the gods, I would still not believe this is possible. I have researched Greek mythology and have worked closely with the greek pantheon in the past.

You cannot become a demi-god. Think of the amount of pagans who work with the Greek pantheon, next to the egyptian they are the most popular one witch pagans choose to work with.

I have ever heard one of them state this erroneous belief before. I have also never heard of one of them becoming a demi-god.

Now do we choose toignore the facts of recorded history- that there has been no demi-gods, or do we choose to believe in ignorance of these facts that demi-gods exists?

It would be like saying the sun dies every day and is reborn each morning. This is what the ancients used to believe, hence their dying sun gods (more evidence of allegories!). We now know the sun does not die, but is eternally present and it is us which change position from it.

To carry on believing the old theory despite the evidence would be foolish.

I can't believe there are actually people arguing about the possibility of being a demigod. Most if not all myths were meant to be looked at symbolically. Josh here is no demigod. There is no argument about it. Weather being a demigod physically is possible or not, is another topic entirely. You people going on defending that it's possible to be a demigod clearly seem to have no idea what that would mean. That is a natural game changer. Do you not think this person would be of an ambitious nature and the world would not tremble. If there was a demigod, anywhere. We would know.

You are looking at the question all wrong! I asked if I was. Not can I turn into. Read before going on platitudinous rants

well that is simple josh...NO, you are not a demi god. You are not the son of Poseidon, You are Josh, not Percy Jackson.

Josh, if you still have questions regarding your humanity, I suggest you read your original post on this forum thread to your mother and father. I am sure they can settle any questions you have about your lineage.
