I'm pretty sure that there is a Babylonian Tiamat, even if it isn't the original. And Kronos is in Greek Mythology as well I do believe.

Most assuredly not. The Egyptian pantheon did not include Tiamat.

and unfortunately likenesses of deities and mythological figures can be copyrighted. As long as a specific likeness is given to them ie tiamet five headed dragon.
Just so long as the specific likeness is altered from the historical likeness.

They can be copyrighted, but only insofar as the capacity in which the company used them. Which is basically what you said, but just summing it up.
