NOTE: The following charts were prepared by Robert Simms of the Emma Willard School (2001), and has been subsequently retired from the internet. It has been reproduced here and modified for both historical accuracy and personal objectivity. Ex. The term “victim” has been replaced by “animal.” It is also modified to make the historical claim that the above deities actually were inherited by the “Greeks”, having been introduced by the African-Egyptian, and Afro-matriarchal cultures who fled the patriarchal takeovers in ancient Egypt, Sudan, Somali and Ethiopia; settling into the Ionian Islands more than 4,000 years before the Doric (“white”) Greeks.
