Not a fixed roster
The members
A family photograph
Each row stands a generation below the row above it, as the accounts give their kinship. Membership is what the records say.
What this means
3 records name this as the whole they are part of. That is what makes it a pantheon here — no class on Wikidata says so consistently, and nobody publishes a machine-readable roster.
So the list is complete in one direction only: a god whose record does not name this pantheon is missing even if every account places them in it — a gap in the data, not in the tradition. Accounts disagree about who belongs, too; the Twelve Olympians are twelve in some lists and fourteen in others.
The rows are counted from the kinship among the members themselves, as the accounts give it: a member whose parent is also a member stands a row below that parent. This is kinship inside the accounts — what the myths and the texts say, not a documented family — and where they disagree, every recorded parent is counted. Where the accounts loop — Gaia is Uranus’s mother and his consort — the loop is cut, not resolved. A documented human family is not drawn here, and neither is a member with no account kinship to another; both are listed below.
Kinship as the accounts give it,

Connections
How Akkadian Empire connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
