The belief system that recognizes or worships two gods, or a theological position acknowledging two divine principles or powers.
From Greek 'dyo' (two) + 'theos' (god) + '-ism' (belief system). The term emerged in theological and philosophical writing to describe religions or heresies involving a duality of gods.
Dyotheism appears in discussions of Zoroastrianism (with its good and evil gods) and some early Christian heresies—it fascinated philosophers because it challenged the idea that there could only be one God!
