12The Olympians
Mount Olympus is a real mountain in the north of Greece. Gradually, it became associated less and
less with an actual mountain and more with an imaginary place high above the earth. According to the
ancient Greeks, the gate to Olympus was made of clouds and it was guarded by four goddesses, the
Seasons. Each god had his or her own dwelling place, but Olympus was home base.
There were up to 14 gods considered Olympian gods. Seven of them were Zeus and his siblings, and
seven others were children of Zeus. Sometimes only 12 will be listed. The Greeks and Romans shared
mythology, so you will find two names for most gods.
