The first thing that we are going to learn about greek mythology is the olympian gods. In greek mythology 12 gods and godesses ruled the universe from atop Greece’s Mount Olympus. The leader of these gods was Zeus, son of Kronus and Rhea. Zeus, the god of the sky was the most powerful. Hera, the goddess of marriage and the queen of Olympus was Zeus’s wife and sister. Poseidon, the god of the sea was Zeus’s brother and was also a very powerful god second only to Zeus. Hades, the king of the dead was Zeus’s brother. He lived in the underworld where he ruled over the dead. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, protector of the sailors was the daughter of Zeus and the Titan Dione.
