These observations may jibe with Proclus's (later) distinctions between the intelligible, Intelligible-intellective, and intellective gods: I regard this to mean that certain aspects of the gods are more apprehensible to mortals (how they are portrayed in myths and other revelations, for example) whereas other aspects are remote and hidden. But all of these are God, in the sense of "God" as a class.

It's worth keeping in mind, too, that there's a diversity of viewpoints on all these matters. Despite the general agreement of Platonists, each has their own angle* on things, so looking for a seamless agreement is, I suspect, not gonna happen. (A multiplicity emerging from a unity, as it were, on a different scale.)
