Probably not actually the son of a goddess though.
And that same dynasty looks like it might collapse soon for lack of a “suitable” male heir,
due to their rigid paternal views and refusal to move the dynasty forward with the time and grant a woman the title of emperors. Their dynasty is essentially stuck in pre 20th century values.
Emperor Ankō (401–456 AD) is the first emperor whose existence is verifiable by historians.
