This person was of Royal lineage on his mother's side and she became pregnant through Divine means.
He performed many wonderous acts, beyond the ability of ordinary men.
Because of Envy, he suffered torture.
He was raised by his Father to Heaven where he took a place at his Divine Fathers side and has been worshipped historically....
Did you know this description fits Hercules?
-- His mother was a decendant of Perseus,
-- Zeus impregnated her,
-- Hercules performed 12 Labors that are still legendary,
-- He was burned by a poisonous and acidic mix of the blood of a Hydra and a Centaur.
-- He was lifted to Heaven through the actions of Zeus
-- AND he was worshipped as first a Hero and then, later as a God in Greece and Rome.....
And ALL of this (except for the worship as a God in Rome) pre-dates Christianity by at least 400 YEARS as there are representations of Hercules from the 5th century BCE
