Before you tear apart well-established theories about IE mythology,
you'd better read Dumezil.
His theories have overcome considerable attacks and they are still there.

There are good thins and bad things about Dumezil.
I know him only through Kosambi and Bruce Lincoln.
Kosambi followed him (at least that is what I think, since Kosambi was
senior to Dumezil) - follow the worship of the gods, as the followers group
them and try to analyze the social factors.
Bruce Lincoln if i know rightly has condemned him.

I don't know what "condemn Dumezil" means.
Lincoln does not seem to be a specialist of IE mythology,
something that is expected if he is a disciple of Eliade.
I would not exchange Dumezil's theory for Lincoln's one.

Who is Kosambi ?
