| Sep 29, 2021 at 19:29 | comment | added | cycollins | @al'Thor After I posted this, I felt silly. It's "theos", with a theta (I don't know how to typeset in greek on these comments). Hence, "theology", "theocracy", etc. | |

There must be a great deal of literature using this word, because the nature and character of all their various gods is a common theme, and the dialog in plays often bemoan humanity's vulnerability to their whims. | |

Hosek | It's worth noting that there's a lot of ancient Greek writing that will talk about God that sounds to modern ears as if it's meant as the monotheistic God, but is, in fact, a reference to the divine instead. Plato does this a lot in his writing. | |
