I think archetype is decided by characteristics and the personality of the God. The archetypes are destroyers, tricksters, temptresses, and many others including judges and watchers of woman or men. That shows the personality or characteristic of the God through their archetype. Like Zeus, he is a judge. This is a characteristic of him because he is the top God and has to watch what the others are doing and decide if they are good or bad by judging their actions. Another is Hades, where his archetype is represented by his personality. Hades is evil and will destroy anything and everything just because he can or to get something he wants. Of course, his archetype is a destroyer which really shows his personality. Archetype can be defined in many different ways, but I think it is mostly characteristic and personality of the God.
