The 12 Olympians were the 12 most important gods and goddesses of Ancient Greek Mythology, and were so-called because it was believed they dwelt on Mount Olympus. Our Olympians Gods and Goddesses are Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes and Dionysus. Sometimes, Hestia is depicted as one of the twelve instead of Dionysus. Hades was not considered one of the 12 Olympians due to his dwelling in the underworld.

These gods were all one big family, and it was messy, and confusing to follow, especially since different versions of the myths of who gave birth to whom! Much of what we know about the origins of the Greek Gods is through the epic poems of Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey, and Hesiod’s Theogony which details the origins of the gods. These authors depict the gods as presiding over every facet of human life, and although they were gods, they fought and argued, had love affairs and were capable of great kindness and giving out terrible punishments.
