Greek Gods and Goddesses

It was believed that the Greek gods were living in Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece. They were actively participating in the life of mortals punishing them when they were wrong and rewarding them for being good. Each god or goddess was known for a different trait, for example Ares was the god of war and Aphrodite the goddess of beauty while the father of all gods was Zeus and his jealous wife Hera.
