The list of ancient Greek Gods and Hindu gods was very interesting. I think
most would probably compare Indra with Zeus as both threw thunder bolts.
Indra being the king of the Vedic gods like Zeus. The name Zeus is also
related to the sanscit Devas I believe etymologically. Mitra of course
became Mithra, popular god at the time of the rise of Christianity and
probably greatly influence the birth of Christ date as well as the
Communion ceremony. One can easily see that at one time time probably
during the Vedic period there was definitiely a connection between Iranian
Avesta gods and the Vedic gods, and the ancient Greeks pantheon likely was
an off shoot or derived from the Vedic period, which goes to say that due
to the similarities of Indo European languages which have been well
documented, we are at least cousins. - Art Gregory
