OP An eponym.So I couldn't figure out the roots!
Euhemerism
(n.) The theory, held by Euhemerus, that the gods of mythology were but deified mortals, and their deeds only the amplification in imagination of human acts.
Sounds like baloney to me. Some mortals were indeed deified,
but not Zeus and colleagues.
