Not me, but the humble citizens of Samos. Many do not know that the Samians made Lysander a God after he liberated them. They sang hymns and had festivals in his honor. Clearchus of Heraclea enjoyed the same treatment. The Thasians offered Agiselaos Godhood and he flat refused them!

Right! good job P.B. Big Grin

As I said, for a Greek o become a God even in his lifetime was not unheard of. Was it morally acceptable? This is a different discussion.
