(1) SHORT FAMILY TREE This is a simple graphic depiction of the family of the main gods of the pantheon: beginning with the Protogenoi in the centre, the ring of Titan gods and their families on the right, the children of Kronos in a ring at top, and the Olympian offspring of Zeus forming a ring left. The spirits and sea-gods stand bottom left and centre. The background is from a C6th BC Athenian black figure vase painting.

The basic structure follows Hesiod's Theogony, but that author's genealogies have been expanded with a plethora of additional gods, spirits and creatures sourced from other classical sources.
