Some that we know to have been mortals were run through a process that is said to have made them gods, e.g., many of the Roman Emperors. What I think Euhemerus was saying is that those we think of as gods, e.g., Zeus, were mortals from long ago, of whom we have no other knowledge than the tales told about them and whom we have raised to the level of godhood by tradition.
