Xena was a demi god, like Achilles.
Her humanity vs godhood remains unclear and up for debate.
She can fight a god, but she could just be that skilled a mortal with enough exposure to deific artifacts and challenges to keep up. She does have many skills, and other more classic examples of demigods are more like Hercules: Capable of Superhuman feats rather than Batman-esque ones.
It was the subject of much discussion and controversy at my church bc the writers took such extreme liberties with our legends.
Hahaha oh jeez.
Xena (the show) tried visiting tons of different religions as supplementary lore (even with their own Jesus proxy with Eli), and Lucy Lawless looked so bored and miffed with having to apologize over the India arcs due to complaints.
