Offensive:

Burn Away - Zeta engulfs all enemies in a temporary firestorm.

Defensive:

Canopy Cover - Zeta summons trees up from the ground to serve as cover for his allies.

Supportive:

Monsoon - Zeta lowers opponents' accuracy by dizzying them with raging wind currents.

Healing:

Guiding Light - Zeta warms his allies up with sunlight to heal them up.

Special:

Thunderhail - Zeta rains down ice shards on his opponents while simultaneously peppering them with lightning strikes.

My thought is that Zeta would be a mostly balanced class, with a slight leaning towards offense. I didn't incorporate melee into the list, because I couldn't decide on a weapon to give Zeta, and it didn't seem as important as his elemental powers.

I could easily make up more skills for any of the categories, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Do you think Offensive would be a good class for Zeta? I just thought of Robin from smash bros, uses both sword and weapon, so why not go with Offensive while wearing a melee weapon that gets infused with the element you previously used to gain additional effects on your next normal attack?

By the way, I thought of a plot for the gods in your idea, let's make it this way: Rhey, Rhea and the villain remain the same, but make it like Zelda-ish, there are 2 good entities while there's an evil one to mantain balance in the elements.

And then there's the Goddess of Time and the God of Space (make names for them if you wish, I don't want to interfere with that) that created the Metachronos Sword to make it look like the relic that mantains the balance among the dimension and the elements. The villain gets the story behind the sword and thus wants to obtain it to rule the world/destroy this or that/become even godlier (like the usual, hidden semi-cliche plot).

What's hidden here is that Isaac is not a god but something special to this case, considering that he is what he is, it would indirectly influence the storyline all along in some sort of a way, you can make him fight Zeta and become friends afterwards (considering is an extra yet borderline difficult boss that you can optionally fight after beating the storyline), whatever you want to do n_n XD.

Remember, Isaac is really nothing but at the same time everything, it's neutral at everything and he has enough capacity to rule the universe but he doesn't do it because he himself already put a limit forever ago, and finds no need to do that anyway,  that's why I never consider him a god, after all, he's a failed human experiment that became to be because humans wanted it to be like that, it could had been another person that stumbled upon this fate.
