Olympian

The Gods of Olympus are a race of superhumanly powerful extradimensional humanoid beings who were worshiped in Ancient Greece and throughout the Roman Empire. The Olympians dwelled in Olympus, a small "pocket" dimension adjacent to Earth; an interdimensional nexus between Olympus and Earth exists somewhere on Mount Olympus in Greece. The Olympians' human worshipers in ancient Rome called these gods by different names than those by which the gods were known in ancient Greece; for example, the Greeks called the king of the gods Zeus, whereas the Romans called him Jupiter or Jove. The Olympian gods, except for Neptune, patron deity of the Atlanteans, stopped having or actively seeking worshipers on Earth. However, certain gods, notably Hercules and Venus, still took active interest in the welfare of humanity.
