They're still emanations of The One, if you're speaking of the Neoplatonic One. They are supernatural and therefore furthest removed from the distortion of materiality, representing purest virtues and concepts that one must emulate. Closer to humanity are sainted heroes like those of ancient cults or Christian saints, as they were human beings who emulated the divine and thus elevated themselves to immortality and myth, and now serve as guides for the living towards henosis. In my conceptualization of it all, they are one step above humans, and gods are a step above them. At the nexus of the entire thing is The One, but The One isn't directly worshipped because you cannot worship and idea, only contemplate it.
For this reason, I think all gods are relative, as well as prophets and heroes, simply existing as derivatives of the One. Christianity is the only odd one out because Judaism and, by extension, the Old Testament, insists upon ethnic exclusivity, and Christianity as a whole insists upon philosophical exclusivity. This is why the Romans went as far to view the Christians as atheists.
