Hellenistic Buddhism? Heck, that really existed. There was a confluence of Greek and Buddhist/Indic ideas and artistic styles in the eastern extent of the Hellenistic world and along its fringes. In this case, we are just strengthening something that actually occured in OTL.

Why not give all the sub-deities two names, one for their Greek origin and the other for their Mithraic/Zoroastrian form?
Can't find my notes for the Z but the data must be out there on the web - it's quite apt, monotheistic with angel/demon analogues; kinda God-angel-saint and their opposition.
