A person or thing that is deified is turned into a god.
Far more than two Roman people were deified after their deaths: 45 Romans were deified. Julius Caesar was the first person who was deified. After that it was quite common to deify dead emperors: 34 emperors were deified. In addition to this, two usurper emperors (Piso Frugi and Victorinus) and two wives of emperors were deified: Livia (Augustus's wife) and Faustina (Antoninus Pius' wife). Hadrian deified his lover, Antinous, after his premature death. The emperor Domitian deified his son, whose name is unknown. The emperors who were deified were: Augustus, Claudius, Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Antoninus Pius, Hadrian, Lucius Verus, Marcus Aurelius, Commodus, Pertinax, Septimius Severus, Caracalla, Alexander Severus, Geta, Caracalla, Gordian I, Gordian II, Gordian III, Phillip the Arab, Philip II, Decius, Herennius Etruscus, Valerian, Gallienus, Claudius II ( Gothicus), Aurelian, Marcus Aurelius Probus, Carus, Numerian, Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius, Constantius I (Chlorus).
In Greek Mythology? No, he was a deified aspect of nature.
The Muses were the deified inspiration of human understanding of the world and talent.
While the Roman Empire was never a theocracy as we know it - it was not ruled by a priesthood in the name of any deity - it is also true that Roman emperors did often declare themselves to be gods, and erected shrines to themselves. That was a quasi-theocracy - much like the current government of North Korea, which has deified the current dictator, Kim Jong Il.
A demigod is a deified mortal, a mythological being who is half god and half mortal. Due to their divine parentage, demigods are able to accomplish super-human feats of strength and valor. Three Greek demigods would be Heracles (father Zeus, mother Alcmene), Theseus (father Poseidon, mother Aethra) and Perseus (father Zeus, mother Danae).
