Mount Olympus
Mythical divine residence
Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece, rising nearly 10,000 feet.
In Greek mythology, it served as the home of the twelve Olympian gods—Zeus, Hera, Athena, and the rest—who ruled from its cloud-shrouded peaks.
The name now suggests any seat of power or exclusive gathering place: the Mount Olympus of haute couture.
