First off, hi everyone, I’m Teemo and this is my first post on the Paranet.  Be patient with my wild ramblings.  😊

With that out of the way, I have a kinda half developed theory that I need people to poke at

 It seems that it is generally accepted that the various powers in the DV can be grouped by tiers.  Below I propose a grouping of the top 3 categories roughly corresponding to:

Cosmic Tier - Archangels, Lucifer, Mothers Summer and Winter, Dragons

Global Tier - Titania, Mab, Odin, Erlking, LoON(courtesy of whatever they were snacking on), Fallen and Other Run-of-the-Mill Angels (not trapped in coins), Hades, Lea (maybe), Mouse (lol)

Regional Tier - Ladies, Eldest Gruff, Cat Sith, Shagnasty, Senior Council, Cowl

Now we know that some beings wear multiple mantles, so why not  take a look at how these players compare to Greek Mythology.

The genealogy of the greek gods starts with the personification of earth and sky, which for theis purpose I will assume can simply be an analogy for The Creator.

They gave rise to twelve Titans.  But wait if you presume there are 4 Archangels, and the Dragons represent the five elements of the Chinese Wu Xing and then add in the Mothers and Lucifer ... We have 12 Cosmic Tier entities.

The children of the Titan Cronus, led by Zeus, rebelled and overthrew their father.  Interesting note: in the Roman Pantheon Cronus is Saturn which kinda sounds like Satan to me, were the War in Heaven and the Titanachy the same event?  Anyway, so who were Zeus’s Siblings?  Poseidon, Hades, Demeter, Hera and Hestia.  So how might these correspond to the second tier?  WAG time!

Well I kinda favor Mab for the mantle of Hera as The Queen Who is.  This suggests to me Mother Winter as Rhea(Cronus’s Wife), the Queen Who Was and leaving, Idon’t know, maybe Artemis as the Queen Who Is To Be.

Going with the Triple Godess theme, I suggest Titania as holding Demeter’s Mantle, and the Summer Lady having Persephone’s Mantle.  And um maybe Hecate as the Titaness of the Trio?

I admit I don’t really have a candidate for Hestia unless Lea has that mantle?

As for Zeus and Poseiden I would hazard a guess that we have seen them as the Summer King, the Erlking (who seems to have a thing for lightning) and the Winter King Kringle/Odin

And Hades we have already met.

What do you guys think, do the various powers fit into the Greek Pantheon?  Did I assign roles totally backwards?  What about all of the powers and Gods I didn’t even address here? What if I told you that all the Titans were once Archangels and that the Olympians and their many cousins are the Nephilim?
