Hello very easy?

Question

hi i need a list of as many ANCIENT GREEK OLYMPIANS as possible. i also need the site(s) which you got the from. remember the more that are accurate then you will probably get the 10 points i am extending this question to a week.

Thank You for your help

Answer 1

Number 1 has a good point, but in case Google blacklisted you or something, here you go:

Zeus

Hera

Poseidon (Poseidon was a pretty lame movie.)

Demeter

Hestia (I did my 6th grade project on her)

Aphrodite (Mighty Aphrodite was a pretty good movie.)

Apollo

Ares

Artemis (Master Fowl was named after a GIRL!)

Athena

Hephaestus (That's probably the coolest name EVER.)

Hermes (like the scarves!)

Also of interest:

Persephone (How cool is she? Personification of spring AND queen of the underworld??)

Pan (Pan's Labyrinth was a totally rad movie.)

The Muses (I've always just liked the idea of all these ladies wandering around inspiring us.)

I found all of this out (at least, what I'd forgotten since 6th grade) from Wikipedia, which rocks. A lot.

Answer 2

~Chances are, you could find all twelve of them (sorry, you can only list twelve because that's all there were - actually, there were only 8 Olympian gods; there were four goddesses) by simply searching "Olympian gods".  It should take all of a few seconds.  I'll wager you'd even find the Titans and 2 dozen or so of the lesser gods on the same site.  My guess is that you will even find the Roman counterparts for the Olympians that the Romans appropriated from the Greeks and incorporated into their "own" religion.

If you don't have the ambition to put that minimal effort into it (after all, it would be less work than you put into posting your question), I don't have the inclination to do it for you.

Edit to zoemstof:  The problem with Wikipedia is that it unreliable and oft-times inaccurate.  Your answer proves that point in spades.  Demeter was not an Olympian - she was one of the lesser gods, and the daughter of two of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea.  You missed the brother of Zeus who was known to the Romans as Pluto.  Wikipedia might be excused on this one, though, since even the Greeks disagreed from region to region and from era to era as to who the Big Twelve were.  Herodotus includes some that Plato excludes and Homer has his own list.  Others, such as Appollodorus, Lucian and Pindar modified the lists as well.  However, since  it was [Pluto] {I refuse to use the Greek name and thus complete the homework assignment} who joined with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon to overthrow the Titans and who ruled 1/3 of the universe after the coup, it is ludicrous to exclude him and add his far less powerful or influential sister in his stead.  Likewise, considering his ancestry alone, it is foolish to number Dionysus among the Olympians, although some of the classical Greek writers and contemporary "scholars" do just that.  They justify it on the grounds that Hestia abdicated to give her nephew his shot.  Such is the nature of the evolution of religion - as one god's popularity wanes, another is substituted.  

If one follows the evolution, several others in later generations held seats on Olympus at one time or another or in one region or in one region or another, but can they truly be considered "Olympians"?  Even though the Horae  the Muses  the Eileithyia, the  Hebe  and the Erotes were mere functionaries of and minions to the masters, all of them are referred to by one writer or another at some point as "Olympians" and mere mortals, such as Heracles/Hercules, were deified upon death and granted a spot on the Mount.    If all these folks count,  the list of twelve actually swells to at least 66.  It took me about twenty seconds to find that list in the Theoi project.  Theoi is suspect since no mention is made of Pluto's namesake in the listings although he is profiled elsewhere and both Dionysus and Demeter are listed in the first rank.

If one adds groups such as the Halioi, the Nomioi and/or the Georgikoi (to name a few) to the ranks, the list swells yet again.  Given that "The Olympian Gods" historically refers to the Master Twelve (in spite of the lack of agreement as to who the twelve were), we won't go there.
