I was also considering something along the lines of Strength beyond Gods or Willpower beyond Gods/Willpower that transcends the gods
But, the original title phrase is what I'm primarily after.
I'm planning yet another tattoo, and I can't seem to find any existing lines out there for guidance, nor do I have the syntactical knowledge to be confident enough to craft something myself.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you (:
I would translate "willpower" as either voluntas or animus, preferably the first one. (The second one is good specifically if you want to distinguish between "willingness" and "resolve".)
"Mortal" in the sense of "able to die" = "not divine" is mortalis; alternately, "human" = "not divine" would be humanus.
So the end result would either be voluntas mortalium ("willpower of mortals"), voluntas humana ("human willpower"), animus mortalium ("resolve of mortals"), or animus humanus ("human resolve"). I think I like the second one best, voluntas humana.
