Do you think Simon was a demigod?

Simon mentions his desire to one day stand amongst the gods of Olympus. He shows reverence and anger towards them. He also hints at his immortality at a party. As a result, I'm wondering if he is a demigod or just an ancient man who slighted Zeus long ago and then was punished to live and die for an eternity.

What do you think?

I always thought Simon was a mortal man who had the aim of becoming a demi god, which he was trying to achieve via his occult studies.
