Ok, we have been getting a lot of e-mails asking about family trees, especially for the Greek gods. Last night (see date above) one of the researchers answered an email from a Skipper about how the Greek family tree looked. He gave the one according to Hesiod and Appolonius below. But he did mention to Skipper that there are three things a person reading these charts better watch out for:

1. There is more than one story about most of the gods, so the family tree would look different for each story.
2. Next there are so many gods and heroes immortalized to gods (like Herakles), and lovers made into gods (like Tithanos) that it would take a lot of space.
3. Finally sometimes there are so many children (like from Ares or Eos) that it would take up even more space to show them all.

So here are a few of the family trees:
If you want to check out the description of a character below, then open the Greek page and click on the name there to see it while you are going through this list.
(The Beginning of the Greek Gods Family Tree According to Hesiod)

(The Rest of the Ouranus (Uranus) and Gaea Family Tree according to Hesiod & Appollonius)


And this is a chart trying to show all the 100+ greek gods and associates...but remember the stories from which this chart is derived do not always tell the same story in every way so in some cases the chart is as told in one story, and in other parts of the chart it is as told in other stories. Big Picture of the Family Tree of the Gods That one is for Skipper.
