Olympians

The Olympians (´Ολυμπιαδεσσιν) were a group of twelve gods that ruled the world after the Titans. They lived in a palace on Mount Olympus (´Ολυμπου), built by the Cyclopes or possibly by Hephaestus. Six of them were children of Cronus and Rhea. The rest of the Olympians were mostly offspring of Zeus. (See genealogy of the Greek Deities.)
