Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Greeks believed that Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in mainland Greece, was the home of the gods. Ancient Greek religious practice, essentially conservative in nature, was based on time-honored observances, many rooted in the Bronze Age (3000–1050 B.C.), or even earlier.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ancient Greeks believed that Zeus, king of the gods, and his family of deities dwelt on Mount Olympus, but they regarded the mountain more as a figurative space for these gods and goddesses than an actual location on earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Ancient Greeks believed that 12 gods lived permanently within Mount Olympus, known to us as the Olympus Greek Gods. Although, Greek mythology has hundreds of different gods in total. The 12 Olympian gods were: Zeus: The God of Lightning and King of the Olympian Gods.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to ancient Greek tradition, the twelve gods lived in the gorges – or ‘folds of Olympus’ as Homer calls them – where their palaces were situated.
