Personally I always sort of drew a parallel between the Norse gods and the Tribunal. I recall a theory that the Norse gods evolved from the deeds of real men who were just great storytellers and got everyone to believe that they were gods... it's been years since I read anything on the Norse pantheon, though, so I'm likely messing up some details.
Of course you can draw parallels between TES pantheons and the Greek pantheon, because the Greek pantheon is massive and has been interpreted in so many ways. For what it's worth, how about Arkay and Persephone? Arkay is associated with birth and death, and of course Persephone came and went between Hades and the world of the living--and her passing changed the seasons, and isn't Arkay associated with the seasons too?
Also, the Lorkhan/Prometheus thing is just brilliant; bravo.
