Overview of the Greek Gods

Olympian Gods
The Greek gods most people have heard of—like Zeus and Athena—actually belong to a specific pantheon: the Olympians, who were believed to be the third generation of gods in ancient Greece. The first Olympians were born from the Titans and went on to overthrow them; they’re known as Olympian gods because they were believed to live at the top of Mount Olympus. While there are 12 gods and goddesses believed to be the “core” Olympians, many more Olympian deities were worshipped in ancient Greece. Though there are many, some of the most notable Olympians include:

  • Zeus. Zeus is the King of the gods, the leader of the 12 Olympians, and the god of the sky, weather, thunder, kings, law, and order. He’s also the ruler of Olympus and the Heavens.
  • Hera. Hera is the Queen of the gods, wife of Zeus, and goddess of women, family, and marriage. She’s also associated with the sky and stars.
  • Poseidon. Poseidon is the king of the sea and lord of rivers, lakes, and other water sources. He’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympian gods.
  • Demeter. Demeter is the goddess of agriculture and one of the 12 ruling Olympians.
  • Apollo. Apollo is the god of prophecy, music, and healing. He’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympians and the twin brother of Artemis.
  • Artemis. Artemis is the goddess of hunting, wild animals, wilderness, and childbirth. She’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympians and the twin sister of Apollo.
  • Athena. Athena is the goddess of war, wisdom, and defense and the patron of crafting—including weaving and pottery. She’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympians.
  • Ares. Ares is the god of war and conflict; where Athena represents the strategic and civilized side of war, Ares represents bloodshed, fury, and love of battle.
  • Hephaestus. Hephaestus is the god of craftsmanship, specifically presiding over blacksmithing, sculpture, building, and artistry. He’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympians.
  • Aphrodite. Aphrodite is the goddess of love, passion, beauty, and procreation. She’s also among the 12 ruling Olympians and one of the gods associated with marriage.
  • Hermes. Hermes is the god of travel, trade, merchants, and thievery, as well as Zeus’s herald and messenger. He’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympian gods.
  • Hestia. Hestia is the goddess of fire and the hearth. She’s also the leader of the gods of the house and home and is associated with feasts and altar flames.
  • Dionysus. Dionysus is the god of wine, pleasure, festivity, winemaking, and vegetation. He’s also one of the 12 ruling Olympian gods.
  • Hades. Hades is not technically an Olympian, but is still a major Greek god (and the brother of Poseidon and Zeus). He’s the king of the Underworld and the god of the dead.
  • Asclepius. Asclepius is the god of medicine and healing, believed to be born as a mortal, destroyed by Zeus, then uplifted to become a god.
  • Eris. Eris is the goddess of strife and discord; she’s also a sister and companion god to Ares.
  • Nike. Nike is the goddess of victory and Zeus’s chariot driver.
  • Psyche. Psyche is the goddess of the soul, born mortal and later granted immortality.
  • Tyche. Tyche is the goddess of good fortune, sometimes depicted as one of Hera’s handmaidens.

Primordial Gods
Before the Olympians, ancient Greeks believed that the Primordial gods existed since the very beginning of the world. Greek Primordials represent the first generation of gods and goddesses, typically associated with fundamental natural forces on Earth. Rather than being openly worshipped, these gods were the physical representations of the concepts they embodied. Primordial gods include:

  • Chaos. Chaos is believed to be the first being in existence, making up the gap between Heaven and Earth. Chaos is the parent of Nyx (night) and Erebus (darkness).
  • Gaia. Gaia is Mother Earth, the second being formed (right after Chaos). She’s seen as the mother of all gods.
  • Aether. Aether is the primordial god of light and the bright upper sky.
  • Ananke. Ananke is the primordial personification of inevitability, compulsion, and necessity.
  • Chronos. Chronos is the primordial personification of time and the first being to emerge self-formed at the moment of his creation.
  • Erebus. Erebus is the primordial god of darkness and the mists of darkness.
  • Eros. Eros is the primordial god of procreation—not to be confused with the younger Eros, son of Aphrodite and a god of love.
  • Hemera. Hemera is the primordial embodiment of the day.
  • Hypnos. Hypnos is the primordial personification of sleep—and his name is the origin of the word “hypnosis.”
  • Nemesis. Nemesis is the primordial goddess embodying retribution and vengeance.
  • Nyx. Nyx is the goddess and embodiment of night, working with her consort (Erebus) to cover the earth in darkness each night.
  • Tartarus. Tartarus is both a deity and the stormy pit beneath the roots of the earth where many of the Titans are imprisoned.
  • Thanatos. Thanatos is the primordial personification of death (before Hades became the god of the dead).
  • Uranus. Uranus is the primordial god and embodiment of the sky and the heavens.

Titan Gods
Titans are Greek mythology’s pre-Olympian gods, believed to be the children of the Primordials (specifically Uranus, the sky god, and Gaia, the earth goddess). Similarly, according to Greek myth, the Titans Cronus and Rhea eventually gave birth to the first generation of Olympians, who eventually overthrew the Titans, banishing some and allowing a few (like Hecate) to remain free as gods. Titans include:

  • Cronus. Cronus is the king of Titans and the god of destructive time—very similar (or possibly the same) as the primordial Chronos.
  • Rhea. Rhea is the queen of Titans and the goddess of fertility and the mountain wilds.
  • Oceanus. Oceanus is the Titan god believed to personify a great river encircling the world, as well as the father of the river gods and Oceanids.
  • Tethys. Tethys is a Titan goddess who mothered the river gods and Oceanids.
  • Hyperion. Hyperion is the Titan personification of the sun.
  • Hecate. Hecate is the Titan goddess of magic, witchcraft, necromancy, and ghosts. She remained a goddess when the Olympians took over because she supported Zeus.
  • Theia. Theia is the Titan goddess of sight and the shining light of heaven.
  • Iapetus. Iapetus is the Titan god of mortality and determining mortal lifespans.
  • Crius. Crius is the Titan god of heavenly constellations and the practice of measuring each year.
  • Phoebe. Phoebe is the Titan goddess of intellect, also associated with prophecy (and specifically the Oracle of Delphi).
  • Themis. Themis is the Titan goddess of the natural order, divine law, and tradition.
  • Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne is the Titan goddess of memory, words, and language.
