The Trimurtis are Brothers - Brahma purana
An interesting scenario in this chapter of Brahma Purana. In this Chaturmukha Brahma says: The Trimurtis born to Attri Maharishi are brothers.
११७००११ आत्मतीर्थमिति ख्यातं भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदं नृणाम् ।
११७००१२ तस्य प्रभावं वक्ष्यामि यत्र ज्ञानेश्वरः शिवः ॥ ११७.१।
११७००२१ दत्त इत्यपि विख्यातः सो ऽत्रिपुत्रो हरप्रियः ।
११७००२२ दुर्वाससः प्रियो भ्राता सर्वज्ञानविशारदः ।
११७००२३ स गत्वा पितरं प्राह विनयेन प्रणम्य च ॥ ११७.२।
He who is popularly known as Datta holds Shiva to be very dear or he is very dear to Shiva. He is Durvasa's beloved brother.
In the famous story of Attri Maharishi, the trinity was born: Vishnu as Datta, Shiva as Durvasa, Brahma as Soma. In this conception the Trinity becomes brothers. This contradicts the idea that Vishnu is the father - Brahma is the son - Shiva is the grandson. The ultimate basic theory that the Trinity is the three formal forms, based on Guna-s, of the same Brahman.
