I (Joshua J Kes) am passionate about mythology and anthropology. I have a B.S. in Geography and Sociology; the study of places and people, respectively. I've been working on a database for comparative mythological studies for a few years now, and thought I'd put together some slick informative charts/posters of family trees for various pantheons.
I also produce YouTube videos on this subject @Sapienite1, with episodes on individual motifs and pantheons. If you like what you see, you may check them out for more details! Here's my video on the Greek Olympian Gods:

Our methodology of comparison for mythological motifs usually involves planetary or astrological associations, but this time, I used a simple coding system including 11 motifs/archetypes/codes, each color-coded and in order from left-to-right:
1. HEARTH - Fire, Blacksmithing, or Domestic Deities like Hephaestus and Hestia.
2. EARTH - Earth, Fertility, or Wild Deities like Gaia and Persephone.
3. SKY - Sky, Storm, or Messenger Deities like Zeus and Ouranos.
4. WATER - Sea, River, or Wellspring Deities like Poseidon and Oceanus.
5. CHTHONIC - Underworld Deities like Hades and Tartarus.
6. DAY - Sun or Light Deities like Apollo and Helios.
7. NIGHT - Moon, Night, or Dusk Deities like Nyx and Artemis.
8. LOVE- Dawn, Love, or Justice Deities like Aphrodite and Eros.
9. WAR - War Deities like Ares and Athena.
10. DEMIGOD - Demigods or Heroes like Hercules and Kratos.
11. MONSTER - Monsters or Spirits like Cerberus and Typhon.
