No...he was still considered weak to the rest before his sleep he just had the title. It's stated only after his death is when his true power showed and he actually showed power comparable to a DG, suggesting he didn't come close before it as when he was called weak compared to the rest.He was already at the level to be considered a DG though, just not that strong in comparison, we know that during his death that his magic overflowed from him of a level worthy of a title that he already has, it is common that magic radiates from a body even after death, his true power Is just “creating” a labyrinth, even after waking up his power is not at full strength yet. Even Selene said he is renowned as a god as in his original strength was what made him worthy of it.
It's pretty simple, considering it's what's stated in the manga literally.
