Below is a list of all of the gods who have been considered an Olympian in one story or another. So, because of the way Greek myths were told and retold in different ways, there are actually 14 gods and goddesses who can be considered as an Olympian god. Nobody is truly sure if Hades of Hephaestus can be classed as the Twelfth Olympian. The question of who the 12 Olympians are really depends on who is telling the story. Hades does not have a statue, but Hephaestus does. At the famous Parthenon temple in Greece, there is a statue of each of the 12 Olympian gods. Even though she left the council, Hestia still kept a home on Mount Olympus.Īphrodite was on the council but, in most Greek mythological stories, her husband Hephaestus was not. In the end, he enabled the decision that saved Olympus. After that HE was sent on a major quest to not only steal the Sword of Hades, but to use the sword to bring Iapetus (a fearsome Titan Lord) back from Tartarus. Hestia used to be one of the Olympians, but the constant fighting and bickering between the gods annoyed her and she eventually gave up her seat to the god of wine, Dionysus. A son of Nemisis (Ethan Nakamura) was sent to battle Percy to initiate himself into Kronos Army.
Most of the other Olympians would be on Mount Olympus year round unless they were travelling. Hades, the god of the Underworld, preferred to live there, and Poseidon often chose to stay in his palace under the sea. The name of this powerful group of gods comes from Mount Olympus, where the council of 12 met to discuss matters.Īll 12 Olympians had a home on Mount Olympus and that was where they were most commonly found.
In the ancient Greek world, the Twelve great gods and goddesses of the Greeks were referred to as the Olympian Gods, or the Twelve Olympians.
