In Ancient Greek religion and myth, they believed and worshiped “Gods and Goddesses”, whom were living in the Olympus. Only 12 of them were lucky to rule the universe and live in top of Mount Olympus. They were the “Twelve Olympians”; Aphrodite, Athena, Demeter, Hera, Zeus, Poseidon, Ares, Hephaestus, Dionysus, Hermes, Apollo and Artemis. These Olympians had come to power after their leader, Zeus, overthrew his father, Kronos, leader of the Titans.

Hestia also became a part of the twelve Olympians, until such time that Dionysus came. Although Hades is an important god and brother of Zeus and Poseidon, he is not one of the twelve Olympians since he dwelled in the Underworld. Each of them has an important role for the mortals.

Daughter of Cronus and Rhea together with Hera, Hestia, Hades, Zeus and Poseidon, Demeter is one of the greatest divinities of the Greeks. Demeter was depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheaf of wheat and a torch. 

Dionysus a.k.a. Mr D.

Dionysus one of the half-blooded gods in Greek mythology. What's a half-blood? A half-blood is a god that has one god parent and a mortal parent. In this case, Dionysus' god parent was Zeus and Semele was his mortal parent. If you'll ask them if it's fun to be a god, 99.99% of them will say "no".

"What will you do with immortality if you're not eternally happy?"

Dionysus is one of the gods with a ridiculous birth. He was born twice so they call him "The Twice-born" because when Semele died while Dionysus was still in her womb, Zeus get the baby Dionysus and place him in his thigh and sewed his thigh back. Crazy isn't it? Many of the gods are also born with ridiculous birth. Like Zeus' siblings, Cronus ate them because of the oracle that says that his children will persuade him in his throne and they will rule.

Athena have always been my favorite Greek goddess-the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, strength, strategy, arts, crafts, and skill. She is such an admirable goddess and probably the best of all.I used to idolize her for being such a beauty. Combine it with her talents and prodigy-tada!-the best goddess of all time.

But little do we know the provenance of this commendable brain goddess. The next question would be, where did SHE came from? It all goes down to the very mother of Athena who is no other than Metis. Metis is considered to be the Titaness of wisdom and deep thought. Her name was connoted as magical and cunning. She is actually a Titan and never would she be an Olympian God. But nevertheless, she is still Athena's pro-creator.
