Why family trees of gods and rulers?

Anyone researching their own family runs into the same questions: how do I show a second marriage? What about half-siblings, lines that cross, people who belong to two branches at once? Mythological and historical trees are full of exactly those cases — without anyone's personal data attached.

That is why every profile here links into a real, explorable tree. Read the short profile, then open the same person in the tree with one click, with parents, partners and descendants around them. It is also the easiest way to try the app before you type in anything about your own family.

All figures are in the public domain, recorded in sources that have been public for centuries. Where those sources disagree — with mythological genealogies that is the rule rather than the exception — the profile says so instead of presenting one version as settled fact.
