To clarify even farther Kongōrikishi were the pair of warriors used to protect Buddha. these were, in Greco-Buddhist Art translated to images of Heracles, meaning it would be another name for the smae thing.

the characters I chose are actually for Kongōrikishi but considering they are the silk road's interpretation of Heracles, at least in places marked by Hellenistic influence, I considered it close enough.

Oh to clarify I looked up Chinese Symbol Heracles, then moved form there, it may not be the most ideal, but as I work towards the right ideogram it is what I have. (Wiki is not something I take at face value and I will research it on other ideogram sites)

Where'd you find the Chinese idiograms for a Greek name, Callieg?
