Olympus is the home to most of the Olympian gods, who dwell in fabulous palaces of marble and gold. It is known as the site of Zeus' throne and the hub of most of the divinity within the series.
History[]
Sometime before the last Titan fell and the creation of the Giants, Mount Olympus served as the Olympians' home in their war against the elder gods known as the Titanomachy. When Zeus struck down the last of the family of darkness, he and his siblings witnessed the birth of the terrible monsters born from the Titan's dying curse. From there, the gods would battle the giants in a hellish war called the Gigantomachy, and Mount Olympus was where they fought against the monsters that sought to kill them and destroy their realm.
Eventually, after defeating the Giants, the Olympians came to build grand palaces and other structures to serve as their homes, with other gods, such as the Sisters of Fate and the Oneiroi, also coming to dwell alongside the Olympians.

Trivia[]
- In Greek mythology, Mount Olympus was the mythical home of the gods. According to the 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.
- According to the show's creators, the higher one dwells on Mt. Olympus, the higher they are in the pantheon's hierarchy.[1]

Powerhouse Animation (@PowerhouseAnimation) on Twitter "In #BloodofZeus, the gods' location on Mt. Olympus is based on their importance in the pantheon. As such, Zeus' temple is at the very top, Hera’s aviary is on the second level, & the gods' homes are placed from most important/powerful (top) to least (bottom)."
