"Gods" here is a reference to the Gods of Olympus. He lives there, and is counted among them. It doesn't mean all of them are full gods (Hermes is a also demigod, for example).

The DC Herakles is somewhat different from the original. His mortal half never died; he was punished to bear the island of Themyscira on his back until the end of the 1980s. Only after he was forgiven was he allowed into Olympus.
