Mount Olympus (Home of the Gods)

Mount Olympus, shrouded in clouds and mystery, was believed to be the divine residence of the Twelve Olympians. After the great war called the Titanomachy, Zeus and his siblings—Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hades—overthrew their father Cronus and the Titans. Zeus claimed the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the underworld, but all the gods gathered on Olympus for councils and feasts.

There, in golden palaces above the mortal world, they drank nectar, ate ambrosia, and watched over humanity. No mortal could reach its peak, for the gods kept it hidden in eternal mist.
