Ancient Greeks believed that Zeus, king of the gods, and his family of deities dwelt on Mount Olympus but they regarded the mountain as a more figurative space of these gods and goddesses than an actual location on earth.
Mount Olympus is the mythical home of the gods in Greek mythology. According to authors, the mountain was created after the Titanomachy, the epic battle between the young gods, the Olympians and the older gods, the Titans. As a result of this battle, the Olympian victors created their new majestic home – Mount Olympus.
