I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Nephilim from the Bible, reputed to be the children of angels and human women:

Genesis 6
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Various SF and Fantasy writers have already interpreted the legend in different ways, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for another interpretation.
