A demigod is half human and half god. This isn’t the case for Jesus. Jesus is fully human and fully God. The Virgin Birth was also prophecied in Hebrew
Without any clear definition of a god not sure this distinction means anything.
The point is about how the receiving greeks would have interpreted this new religion and that would be based more on their Greek mythology than it would on Hebrew mythology.
Whenever Missionaries went to China, they used existing Chinese frameworks such 上帝 to explain theology. Does that mean that Christianity is based on Chinese religious thought? By no means! It is possible that some at the time of the greeks had a flawed view on the matter, heresies have existed from the start (notably Gnosticism) but that doesn’t mean that Christianity is based on greek mythology at all. In fact, they were ridiculed on many points, as Greek religion aimed to escape the “mortal coil” and that the body is bad, while Christianity teaches that you’ll be resurrected and given a regenerate and glorified body after death. In the afterlife you’ll still be a physical creature, instead of a spirit/phantom
