A-Z: General definitions: Mount Olympus
Definition
This is the highest mountain in Greece and as such was believed to be the home of the gods. Zeus ruled there. Soon, the Greeks began to think of the gods as living above Mount Olympus, rather than on the mountain itself. See Sacred mountains.
Son of Cronos, ruler and chief of the Greek gods, originally a sky-god. (Roman name: Jupiter.)
Mountains have often been seen as sacred places by many cultures and peoples across history, since they are the points on earth traditionally closest to heaven.
