God-Heroes...

So I constantly hear people referring to someone/something as a "God-Hero" or "Hero-God". Morihaus, Phynaster, Syrabane and probably others too. Now I have searched but can't find out exactly what a "God-Hero" is. In other fantasy settings they are often the offspring of a mortal and a deity but does this fit with Elder Scrolls lore? I was under the understanding that the Aedra don't really do anything, let alone creating (magically or physically) offspring. So are they just venerated heroes akin to saints or do they have a spark of divinity within them? Could you consider the Tribunal to be God-Heroes?
