GREEK MYTHOLOGY

2. In Greek mythology, there were 12 Olympians, gods and goddesses, who lived and held thrones on
Mount Olympus, although you may run across more than a dozen names. These major gods and goddesses are
named Olympian for their place of residence.
The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. There was no sacred book or code of conduct
to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians
lived on the highest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus.
