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

16 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,

How Babylonia connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
