   Well, one thing that you're doing is pairing deities.  In the ancient world   
   this was often the case.  A lot of these classical deities had a long Social   
   evolution, where they were made to stand for many types of people, and   
   stages in life.  Some were conscripted into the service of the state, and   
   whatever attitudes and virtues the state wanted to encourage.   
   It would help if you went into *some* detail about why you have made a   
   connection.  Remember to edit your material carefully.
