More recently, the view put forward by Georges Dumézil based on Indo-European parallels has dominated, wherein the Vanir, like the Æsir, derive from the pre-Germanic heritage of Germanic religion and embody the third of the three " functions " in his trifunctional hypothesis: chthonic and fertility deities.

Dumézil argues that with the advent of the Republic, Jupiter became the only king of Rome ( no longer merely the first of the great gods ).

Dumézil postulates a basic division of society into a priesthood ( Brahmins ), warrior class or nobility ( Kshatriyas ) and commoners ( Vaishyas ), augmented by a class of unfree serfs ( Shudras ), as was done in ancient Iran and Greece as well ( where the fourth class is called pan-Hellenes ).
