27. Are Greek gods considered Pagan?

I always thought of Pagan as being more Norse/Celtic, but my favorite Greek gods would be

Gaea, or

Rhea, or

Dionysus. The whole turning-thieves-into-dolphins thing was pretty awesome.

25. Hathor. Goddess of Love, Music and Beauty as well as a goddess of destruction

"Hathor (Het-Hert, Het-Heru, Hwt-Hert, Hethara), meaning "House of Horus ", was a goddess of many things, from the celestial to the alcoholic! She was a celestial goddess, The Mistress of Heaven. A goddess of love, music and beauty as the Goddess of Love, Cheerfulness, Music and Dance. She was known as the Mother of Mothers and the Celestial Nurse who presided over women, fertility, children and childbirth. Yet she was also a goddess of baser things - she was the Vengeful Eye of Ra, the Lady of Drunkeness, and a goddess of the dead as Lady of the West. As Lady of the Southern Sycamore, the sycamore was sacred to her. It was from the sycamore tree that she was thought to hand out good things to the deceased in the afterlife, and so she was thought to be a friend to the dead..."
