Some suggested additions, specific to the Air Army:

I realized after the fact that Dayrider and/or Moonrider could be part of the Sky Army (especially if associated with Apollo and Demeter).

Similarly, I suggested the Luna Pawns for their possible connection to Demeter.

I should've put an asterisk next to the Four Winds in my earlier list, as those are definitively Greek concepts.

Owls also figure pretty promently in Greek mythology, and on a board this size aren't horribly powerful.

I also recommend the Hippogriff, as another Carrier type.

"Sky Monsters," as with "Sea Monsters." Consider some sort of Dragon (which, research suggests, were prevalent in Greek mythology).

Even though this game looks "titanic" I am trying to keep it as simple as possible.

The Hippogriff is a medieval invention. I am planning to use Harpies as "Carriers". Four of them should be enough.

At first glance, 12 ships each seems like quite a lot; but then I remembered that you're planning to use them as Carriers, presumably non-capturing. Still, I think board placement would make 8 a more manageable number.

I also need some kind of Pawns in the Water domain. Maybe, the Ships can become Boats/ Triremes, or Dolphins. I don't mind.
