The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus

Long, long ago in ancient Greece, people began telling wonderful stories—or myths—to explain the mysteries of life and death. These myths tell about brave heroes, fearful monsters, and gods and goddesses. The mightiest gods and goddesses live in a golden palace high above the clouds on Mount Olympus. Zeus, the king of the gods, and his family reign supreme over gods and mortals alike.
