>Doesn't even follow the principles of Hellenic polytheism himself, his custom religion is basically monotheism with votive offerings to the superme God Helios
There goes my respect for this madman

Looking for where to go in delving into Hellenism as a practical religion.
I've done the presocratics, Homer, Virgil, Plato, Arisotle.
Supposedly Neoplatonism is important so I've got Plotinus lined up - but Proclus's Elements of Theology is supposedly like the Prolegomena to the Enneads so I might start there.
Pic related seems to be the best I've found so far - Emperor Julian's Orations that is.
What else is essential reading here?
Chaldaean Oracles?
Celsus?
Porphyry?
Reliable modern texts on the subject?

Reminder that the Sage Emperor idealized by Plato actually existed and we call him Julian the Faithful.
