Sure. Try finding anyone who cared to learn ancient Greek, and make him
believe ihie could be transliterated as Iao.


Why should I attempt this, as I don't believe it myself. You are attacking a straw man, as NO ONE except you in this discussion, except yourself, has suggested a divine name anything like "ihie".

Later, you wrote:

Greek and Latin forms of Iao is all that we got for ancient
pronunciation of the name.


This is not true. We also have forms like IAOUE and IABE, as well as AIA and others. All of these forms need to be interpreted. But they are all basic evidence which need to be treated a priori on the same level.
