How do Hellenists view the Gods of other religions? Can one be a Hellenist and worship Gods outside the pantheon?
The Greeks believed that everyone, everywhere worshiped the Greek Gods, just by different names and through different myths, but that the Greek Gods were the most perfect representation of the Gods. Having said that, there is nothing to preclude anyone from worshiping any God that they choose, and there are those, who are multi-religious. The caveat to that is one does not eclectically blend practices, pantheons, and beliefs with the claim that what one is still practicing is Hellenismos. Worshiping Gods outside the pantheon is generally seen as ok, as long as they are being worshiped in their own context. Ultimatly though, to be a Hellenist, one’s loyalty must primarmy sit with the Greek Gods.
