    Having studied Greek extensively over the years, here is a list of names to apply in the future for the rest of the Ascians:

    Major Deities of the Greek Pantheon Not used in the story:

    Aphrodite (According to a post below - Aphrodite might be Venat)
    Apollo (Maybe Oschon is Apollo the Ancient)?
    Ares (I highly suspect Halone is Ares The Ancient, Non-Ascian)
    Demeter (I highly suspect Nophica is Demeter The Ancient, Non-Ascian)
    Dionysus
    Hera
    Hestia (Very unsure, but I think Azeyma is Hestia The Ancient, Non-Ascian)
    Persephone
    Poseidon (Thaliak or Llymlaen might be Poseidon the Ancient, unsure)
    Zeus (I highly suspect Rhalgr is Zeus The Ancient, Non-Ascian)

    List of Unused Primordial Names (Since Gaia was used in the story):

    Aether (The Magic Mechanic of FFXIV, so obviously can't be used)

    Erebus
    Eros (Eros was a boss in the Qitana Ravel, so cannot be used)
    Hemera
    Hydros
    Nyx
    Ouranos (Ouranos was a boss in The Copperbell Mines HARD, so cannot be used)
    Phanes
    Physis (Its a Aetherial Spell used by Sages, so cannot be used, well maybe)
    Pontus
    Tartarus
    Tekmor
    Thalassa
    The Nesoi

    Thesis

    Epimetheus (this was used for a PVP mount, so cannot be used, maybe)
    Eurybia
    Eurynome I & II (There were two different Titans of the same name)
    Hecaterus
    Helios (there is a spell called this used by the AST job, so cannot be used)
    Hyperion (There is a Gunblade called Hyperion, so cannot be used)
    Iapetus
    Ichnaea

    Leto
    Melisseus
    Menoetius (Used by a PVP Mount, so cannot be used)
    Metis

    Selene (This is the fairy summoned by Scholars, so cannot be used)
    Styx
    Tethys
    The Mousai Titanides
    Theia

    List of Unused Underworld Deity Names
    (I'm listing these too because some of implications in the game's story so far)

    Acheron (a short FFXIV history lesson regarding this, The Boss Acheron was changed to Phlegethon before Patch 2.3 in Labyrinth of the Ancients, most players would probably not remember this)
    Aeacus
    Amphiaraus
    Ceuthonymus
    Charon
    Cocytus
    Eurynomus
    Hecate
    Hypnos
    Lethe
    Macaria
    Menoetes
    Minos (its a Greataxe Weapon, so cannot be used)
    Phlegethon (Boss in the Labyrinth of the Ancients, so cannot be used)
    Rhadamanthus
    Styx (River of Hades, Not the same Styx under Titans)
    Thanatos (Boss in the Labyrinth of the Ancients, so cannot be used)
    The Arai
    The Furies
    Trophonius

    OTHER:
    Nymeia might be Clotho, Lachesis or Atropos

    Just something to keep in mind since there is names some of you all probably don't recognize. Sometimes certain deities in the stories were listed as Titans and other times not depending what the city-state worshipped and weaved into their stories, but, this isn't a history class obviously of the real world, but to provide names on what you think might fit the Ascians and Ancients.

    I would argue that Venat is Aphrodite as in at least the Japanese version they call her Venus which is the Roman God they slapped Aphrodite onto when they adopted the Greek Pantheon.

    Venat is not Aphrodite for several reason but mostly Venat is her actual name and not station like the Convocation, she was the previous Azem. Also, her name in JP is Venas while generally Venus is spelled as Wenusu (I re-checked and it's actually Biinesu, which is even more different) in JP, this is a common misnomer because the names sounds kinda similar but that's not the intention.

    ヴェーネス is a character from Final Fantasy XII who was seen (by their group of origin and previous allies) as causing history to deviate from "the right course" in favor of putting the reins of history in the hands of man. I'd be surprised if the reference was deeper than that, but once in a blue moon, "thing reminds me of other thing so the connection is intended" ends up working out.
