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!
My methodology of comparison for mythological motifs (the first copy) 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 Vulcan and Vesta.
2. EARTH - Earth, Fertility, or Wild Deities like Terra and Proserpina.
3. SKY - Sky, Storm, or Messenger Deities like Jupiter and Uranus.
4. WATER - Sea, River, or Wellspring Deities like Neptune and Oceanus.
5. CHTHONIC - Underworld Deities like Pluto and Tartarus.
6. DAY - Sun or Light Deities like Phoebus and Soranus.
7. NIGHT - Moon, Night, or Dusk Deities like Nox and Diana.
8. LOVE- Dawn, Love, or Justice Deities like Venus and Cupid.
9. WAR - War Deities like Mars and Minerva.
10. DEMIGOD - Demigods or Heroes like Romulus and Remus.
11. MONSTER - Monsters or Animal Spirits like Lupa.
