How many historical leaders were also called the Son of God?

Question

Long before Jesus was claimed as "Son of God", the title was an official royal name for the legitimate Pharaoh of Egypt. The early Roman Emperors also used the title and listed it on their money.
How many historical leaders were also called the Son of God? and is it possible the title given to Jesus might have some greater meaning than just being taken literally?

FYI-Egyptian Pharoahs
================
title known as "Son of Re" or Son of God.

Roman Emperors
=============
In 13 BCE, Augustus (Octavianus) took up the position of pontifex maximus ("pontiff"), the high priest of the collegium of the Pontifices.

From this point on, he was known as Caesar Divi Filius Augustus "Caesar, Son of God", Augustus". Source: Roman coins of which hundreds have been found.

Answer 1

its probably possible but if you take to many religious Christian people you are sure to get an annoyed answer because it is unthinkable to them to consider that. Because to them its an un denyable fact that Jesus is the son of god.

Answer 2

Dear Friend,

The Bible teaches us that: Matthew 14:13When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
15As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."

16Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

17"We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.

18"Bring them here to me," he said. 19And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus Walks on the Water
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but the boat was already a considerable distance[a] from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

Jesus performed many miracles, healed the sick and even raised the dead to newness of life. None of these other historical figures were able to perform these miracles. Neither did they worship the one true god.

I hope this answers your question

God Bless
