I'm kind of liking the Greek mythology route we're going down.
Wonder if we get to confront the pantheon of gods. So far we've come across Hades and Hermes. Presumably Venat is Aphrodite but what of Lahabrea or Elidibus?
The Convocation is what, 14 individuals. A rough look at a list of major Greek gods and goddesses comes out at 14 too.

The dungeon xp buff seems very substantial. I don't know if it's consistent in all levels since I'm too lazy to scour my old logs to figure it out, but I did a 85 dungeon run right before maintenance and again after maintenance, and it's a flat 50% more xp. Got about 4m xp from one run(need 8.2m to level), although I had a little rested xp from the maint, so probably close to 3.8m or so without the rested. That's likely gonna be 5 dungeon runs for the 2 level range, versus 7 before the patch.
The daily hunt buff seems to be about 30% from what I remember, but these vary based on lvl so I might be off a bit. That's still very good, on the same 85 char, every daily hunt mark is 210k xp. That's 216k x 15= 3.24million xp for like ~5-10mins of flying around and bopping random mobs. Unbeatable amount of xp for the time required besides like the weekly WT turn in since that takes also 5-10mins but gives half a level, but the hunt marks are daillies. Definitely don't sleep on these if you have been(they were ok before, pretty sure on this char prepatch they were 160k each so 2.4m which was already pretty solid), they can be done between queues too since it's just random mob killing.

I gave this some thought a few days ago. You missed two which confirm the theory (Artemis and Gaia from the Eden raids).
Venat is apparently a mistranslation of Venus from FF12, so Aphrodite is covered as you say.
There are two inconsistencies:
1) Mitron is Artemis, Artemis is female but Mitron is male. This was done because Ultimecia in FF8 was a mistranslation of Artemis and they wanted to reference that boss in E12.
2) Loghrif is Gaia. Gaia is a Titan not one of the 12 Olympians. So they are prepared to use Gods outside of the main pantheon.
Unfortunatly they will just do what the fuck they want. There is also this for clues:
Mitron really should have been Posidon based on this.
Halmarut could be Demeter though it's another gender swap.
Nabarieles had time powers so maybe he was Cronos.
The Azem zodiac symbol is the sun, so maybe he/she was Apollo. But I don't think the other zodiac signs match up at all.
Maybe the three unsundered were Zeus/Hades/Poisidon?

They used the sun for Azem because we were a traveler (and they used to believe that the sun traveled between constellations), and I think they're more focused on matching characters up from the FF12 constellations, not real life.
AAAAALSO
If we've reassembled so much of Azem's soul (like 9 pieces at this point?) shouldn't we have a greatly diminished capacity to use dynamis?

Very Early Pandaemonium spoilers on Ascian true names:
Elidibus is Themis, which apparently is Zeus's 2nd wife and God of Justice. So they are giving no shits about gender again.
Sounds like a minor god but actually in a way it's the most revelant one in modern day as she's the statue they have outside modern courthouses with the scales etc.

Only piece I care about it healer chest for glamour, but body pieces are a bitch to get. I got minion first try but it sucks so don't really care about it.
First 2 raids are REALLY boring, especially first one is a super snoozefest. 3rd is mostly boring, 4th is actually kinda fun(although boring once you know what's going on but that took a few runs).

Best way to learn about rotation and BiS is the Balance Discord server.
Join the The Balance Discord Server!
The piece you want from normal raids vary highly from what substat you want on your job. Usually the biggest pieces with crit/det/dh on them, unless some other pieces help you get you rid of some unwanted substats (like for SMN, going gloves and boots gets rid of slots that currently have spell speed).
