Saints were a very important part of medieval worship, and in southern Europe they are up to the present day. The rites used during the festival of those saints didn't change much during the development of the local deity to a local saint. Only bloody rituals were made less violent, maybe replacing animal sacrifices by plants or human sacrifices by straw puppets.This said, replacing the christian faith by the Greek variant simply means that your world isn't medieval Europe any more. But then again, what holds you back from such a step?All polytheistic religions have monotheistic tendencies, and vice versa. Zeus/Jupiter actually developped near monotheistic traits during the classic period. This would work very well in Europe.Another way would be the Hindu view of things: In principle all single gods are nothing more than one aspect of the one and only god. They don't see a difference between monotheism and polytheism at all.</blockquote>
