How many deities have I written now, how many are just derivatives of older myths, how many are just a deconstruction of real mythology, am I a sham?

No, all myths evolve from older stories, many of these can be traced back to proto myths, some can even be found to have overlapping themes and story arcs.

Hmmm.

Am I a hack, or is this what all who write feel when they borrow from reality? How many gods can I write based off of the Proto-Indo-European mold which all myths are derived?

The sky father, the earth mother, the herdsman, the weather god, the moon and sun gods, a basic outline, rather, a template from which all worldly myths have evolved.

Dyeus Phter, the sky father, father daylight, sky god, the divine personification of the bright sky of the day and the seat of the gods.

The name Dyeus derives from the stem dyeu-, denoting the "diurnal sky" or the "brightness of the day," ultimately from the root di or dei- "to shine, be bright."

In classic Indo-European, associated with the late Khvalynsk culture 4900–3500 BC, Dyēus had the meaning of "Heaven," whereas it denoted "god" in general, or the Sun-god in particular, in the Anatolian tradition.

The suffix-derivative diwyós "divine" is also attested in Latin, Greek and Sanskrit.

The noun deynos "day," interpreted as back-formation of deywós, has descendant cognates in;

Albanian din "break of the day"

Vedic Sanskrit dína- "day" and divé-dive "day by day"

Lithuanian dienà, Latvian dìena "day"

Slavic dъnъ "day" or Poludnitsa "Lady Midday"

Latin Dies, goddess of the day and counterpart to Greek Hemera

Hittite siwat "day"

Palaic Tīyat- "Sun, day"

Ancient Greek endios "midday"

Old Armenian tiw տիւ, "bright day"

Old Irish noenden "nine-day period"

Welsh heddyw "today"

The most constant epithet associated with Dyeus is "father" phter.

The term "Father Dyeus" was inherited in the;

Vedic Dyáuṣ Pitṛ́

Greek Zeus Patēr

Illyrian Dei-pátrous

Roman Jupiter Djous patēr

Even in the form of "dad" or "papa" in the Scythian Papaios for Zeus, or the Palaic expression Tiyaz papaz.

The epithet Phter Genhtor "Father Procreator" is also attested in the Vedic, Iranian, Greek, and the Roman ritual traditions.

I'm going mad, I've written over 400 deities, even the word deity derives from deywos, and dyew, which are also Proto-Indo-European and come from dyeus.
