Gods of Olympus (Ultimate Earth)

The **Olympians**, also known as the **Gods of Olympus** or the **Greek Gods**, are an humanoid extra-dimensional race of celestial-powered beings with incredibly amounts of magical powers, who originated on Mount Olympus and were worshipped by the civilizations of Ancient Greece and Rome, as well as the Amazons and Atlanteans.

They are divine immortals who control the forces of nature. There are now twelve major gods who rule over greece, the Olympians, all of whom are under the absolute rule of Zeus, king of the gods. They reside high above on Mount Olympus where they discuss affairs related to the mortal world or matters regarding monsters or disorders in nature.

## History

### Early History

The Olympians came into being from the effects of the Godwave energy spilled forth from the creation of the Fourth World, and came to power in the ancient world after overthrowing the Titans. This battle had weakened them and Hecate realized that if viewed as threat they would be a target of other gods of the universe. As a result she cast a spell that caused anyone that knew of them to believe they were much younger than themselves and therefore not worth bothering with.

It is unclear where the Gods of Olympus originated from earth or the pocket dimension of Olympus where they currently reside. Some of the Olympians played a role in the creation of the Amazons, who have been guided and protected by the goddesses ever since.
