Olympians

The Olympians are a council of twelve major gods of Ancient Greece.



Original Olympians
The original Olympians were the six children of the Titans Kronos and Rhea.
 * Hestia
 * Demeter
 * Hera
 * Hades
 * Poseidon
 * Zeus

Modern Olympians
The goddess of love, Aphrodite was born from the sea of the Sky God Ouranos, and therefore has no exact Olympian parentage. Because of her great beauty and passion, she was given a seat on Mount Olympus. In Book V of Homer's Iliad, she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione, daughter of Atlas.

After Kronos was defeated several more gods arose and were born, all from Zeus.


 * Hephaestus
 * Apollo
 * Artemis
 * Athena
 * Hermes
 * Ares
 * Dionysus

Several minor gods were born as well, such as Persephone.

21st Century Olympians
Due to the Olympians constant fighting among each other, Hestia, the eldest and the first god, decided to take her leave of Olympus. She gave her seat to newcomer, Dionysus. Hades never held a throne on Olympus and kept to his kingdom in the Underworld, not feeling welcomed there only during the winter solstice. Hades is not among the twelve because he is not 'accepted' within the other gods (As said by Nico di Angelo himself)

These gods are each represented by a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.
