Greek gods
Mount Olympus dwellers
The Greek gods are the deities of ancient Greek religion and mythology—Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, and the rest of the Olympian pantheon.
They appear throughout Western literature and art as archetypal figures representing natural forces and human qualities.
Someone with godlike abilities in a domain might be called a Greek god of finance.
The phrase also describes idealized male physique: He emerged from the pool looking like a Greek god.
