His mother's name was thetis and she was a sea nymph so that makes him a semi-god

it is a demigod you dip
Thetis the sea goddess
Thetis is Achilles's mother. She is a Nereid, one of the fifty daughters of Nereus ("old man of the sea").
Achilles's mother was a nymph named Thetis and his father was Peleus, king of the Myrmidons. Achilles was said to be a demigod and he was a hero to the Greeks for his valor during the Trojan War.
