How do you feel about people starting to view the Gods you worship as being complex and multifaceted beings, rather than simply a “God of” or “Goddess of” something only?
For a long time people tended to view the various gods and goddesses as simply being just a “God of” or “Goddess of” something specific only based on what has been repeated in pop-culture in society for way too long.
But the actual theological beliefs and traditions in the Greco-Roman world (in Ancient and also lots of current Polytheistic cultures) show and present the gods and goddesses as being rather complex and multifaceted beings, rather then just one label they’re given when the reality is often much more complex and detailed.
As someone who studies this sort of thing in my own free time. I for one welcome the fact that more people have begun embracing the historical truth about how contrary to what we have assumed.
Gods are not one dimensional and are actually quite multifaceted in religious traditions and practices as a whole. I mean just look at all of the epithets many of them possess in religious traditions and mythic tradition, it’s pretty clear they were not simple.
