Someone who believes in gods like Lady Hera and Lord Zeus is called a polytheist. Polytheism is the belief in or worship of multiple deities, often assembled into a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with distinct functions and attributes.
More specifically, since Hera and Zeus are deities from the ancient Greek pantheon, someone who believes in or worships these particular gods might be called a Hellenistic polytheist or simply a follower of ancient Greek religion. In modern contexts, some people practice reconstructed ancient Greek religion, known as Hellenism or Hellenismos.
To summarize:
- Polytheist: A general term for someone who believes in many gods.
- Greek polytheist or Hellenistic polytheist: Someone who specifically believes in the Greek gods such as Zeus and Hera.
- Hellenism: The modern religious practice or revival of ancient Greek polytheism.
Therefore, believing in Hera and Zeus fundamentally categorizes someone as a polytheist, and more specifically, a follower of ancient Greek religion or its modern revivals.
