This sounds like the Orphic/pre-Hellenistic utilization of the word zooi might be pointing at a meaning like a general animate life force, bridging the gap between Earth and Starry Sky. It would make sense (to me) for a mystery tradition to want to em-body the heavens! I really look forward to hearing/reading what the research presents. 🌌
