pantheon
All the gods
A pantheon is the collection of gods belonging to a particular religion or mythology: the Greek pantheon, the Hindu pantheon.
By extension, a pantheon is any group of highly respected or influential figures in a field: She earned her place in the pantheon of jazz greats.
The word suggests a kind of immortal status within a domain. (Capitalized Pantheon is the ancient Roman temple.)
