Greek pantheon

Mount Olympus dwellers

The Greek pantheon refers to the collective body of gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Greece, centered on the twelve Olympians who resided on Mount Olympus.

Zeus ruled as king, alongside deities like Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Poseidon, each governing specific domains of nature and human experience.

The term extends to mean any complete system of gods in a religion, or more loosely, an elite group within a field: She belongs to the pantheon of jazz legends.
