What God or goddess does Darth Vader act like? What deity does Snow White's Step Mother act like?(you said yourself that Hera does not fit). The idea that every archetype is based on a deity is flawed as well because they simply aren't and the books you posted are people clutching at straws, trying to make them all archetypes and attribute traits to them that are not there to do so while ignoring other important aspects of their personality if it does not fit their views. For example they don't mention Athena turning Arachane into a spider, throwing away a musical instrument because it made her look silly when she played it or the things she did in the Trojan wars and the pretty petty reasons that she did them for.
And while I do think that the Greek gods were fairly human, that was the point, they are characters in stories unlike the Christian god who is a force of nature. I still would not read to much into that and assume all their actions are human and normal. Zeus after all married his sister and had a child with his mother.
I disagree that the Greeks made their mythic stories after roles they saw in themselves, they are there to entertain and to explain the world as well as in many cases to give legendary ancestry to certain individuals and their families. Zeus is not some kind of reflection on society, he is a larger than life character in a story(well several stories), that applies to Athena and most other deities as well.
They aren't really parents though which is part of my point. Snow white's step mother is her step mother and kicks her out of home fairly early, she is not a parental figure and they don't even live with each other, similar thing with Darth Vader. Sure he is biologically related but he is not involved in any way in raising Luke.
Also saying that multiple deities can live in one individual is a cop out. That's not how archetypes work nor is it how things like the INPT thing work.
