Greek Mythology Family Tree: Every God, Connected
From Chaos to Zeus in four generations: primordials, Titans, Olympians and their children. Select any figure to see parents, children and consorts — solid lines are parentage, dashed lines are consorts. Based on Hesiod's Theogony; where Homer disagrees, the notes say so.

Frequently asked questions
What is this family tree based on?
Hesiod's Theogony, the oldest systematic account of the Greek gods. Where Homer tells a story differently — Aphrodite's birth, Hephaestus's father — the figure's note says so.
What do the dashed lines mean?
Consorts: solid lines are parentage, dashed lines are marriages and partnerships, such as Zeus and Hera or Cronus and Rhea.
Why are some famous figures missing?
Scope. This tree covers gods, Titans and primordials; heroes like Heracles and monsters like Medusa belong to articles, not the divine genealogy.
Why does Zeus have children by so many mothers?
That is the myth, not the diagram: Hesiod lists each mother — Leto, Maia, Metis, Semele, Demeter — and the notes name her for every child.
