Even chronologically, it appears that Belus and Balarama lived during the same time period
The Indian Hercules, according to Cicero, was called Belus = Belenus = Bel = Beli Mawr Baal Vil Vaal etc etc etc

Saṃkarṣaṇa has been compared to the Greek god Dionysos, son of Zeus, as both are associated with the plough and with wine, as well as a liking for wrestling and gourmet food.[27][28] Arrian in his Indika, quoting Megasthenes, writes of Dyonisos in India:
About Dionysos he writes: "Dionysos, however, when he came and had conquered the people, founded cities and gave laws to these cities, and introduced the use of wine among Indians, as he had done among the Greeks, and taught them to sow the land, himself supplying seeds for the purpose

But Heracles, whom tradition states to have arrived as far as India, was called by the Indians themselves 'Indigenous.' This Heracles was chiefly honoured by the Surasenians, an Indian tribe, among whom are two great cities, Methora and Cleisobora, and the navigable river Iobares flows through their territory.
It has been proposed that Megasthenes misheard the words "Hari-Krishna" as "Herakles".[36] According to Upinder Singh, "Vāsudeva-Krishna was the Indian God bearing the closest resemblance to the Greek God Herakles"
The Greeks themselves were confused, but we can unravel it.
