Then Christianity happens, it deeply changes hellenistic society into a more introspective society as social struggles from religious riots occour.
Finally around 320 AD, a huge church reform is made, and they decide that christ is indeed the prophet and son of god, after years of negotations (more like concessions) they create a new pantheon where all the greek gods are picted as servants of the creator, and in it christ is seen as the one with the job to save us.
Each position of power would have a name related to the god that whose portfolio fits it.
I need ideas for the pantheon, and further development of the world technology/politics etc...
I dont even know what year it would be best to play upon
Any ideas ?

Unless you want Jesus in your world to BE the Son of God, it's quite likely that he would not have been born in this timeline. Sooner or later, Alexander would have taken Jerusalem. People who lived in our time line got killed, people who died in ours lived and different people were born.
Monotheism could well be small thing in this world, and looked on as strange by most polytheists.
