Detailed explanation-1: -In ancient Greek mythology, a group of 12 Olympian gods ruled after Zeus had overthrown the unruly Titans. The gods lived on the top of Mount Olympus-the highest in Greece. Mount Olympus (2, 917 metres) is situated in northern Greece and has forested slopes and tumbling waterfalls.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mount Olympus exists both as a physical mountain and a metaphorical place. Greek and Roman mythology imagined it as the home of their 12 primary gods and goddesses, and throughout history, several peaks in Greece, Turkey and Cyprus have been named Olympus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The twelve gods who lived on Mount Olympus were the Olympians. They include Hera, Poseidon, Hestia or Dionysus, Demeter, Zeus, Hermes, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Ares, Artemis, Apollo, and Athena. These gods were essential to ancient Greek religion and panhellenic identity.
