Question: What's your opinion of historical figures who were deified or hailed as children of gods? Were the pharaohs all Scions? Alexander a son of Zeus/Amun, Antinous a son of Dionysus/Osiris? Or all just mortals caught up in the politics of ancient religion?
This question is like a perennial flower - it keeps blooming over and over as time goes by. Here's a handy link to the last time we talked about it!
Short answer: whatever you want, really. Probably most of them weren't actually gods or Scions, but any one you want to be could be, and those who aren't are probably just mortals using the idea of deification for their own ends.
