The twelve Olympian gods are: Zeus, god of the sky; Poseidon, god of the sea; Ares, God of War and bloodshed; Athena, goddess of wisdom, battle strategy and all household arts; Hera, goddess of family; Hermes, god of medicine, travelers, thieves and messenger of the gods; Hephaestus, god of the forge; Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love; Demeter, goddess of plants and agriculture; Dionysus, god of wine; Artemis, goddess of the moon and the hunt and Apollo, god of arts and the sun. Hades, god of the underworld was banished to the underworld and Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home gave up her throne for Dionysus (who was not originally an Olympian) so they are not technically olympians but they could be counted as such.
