Mount Olympus-Forum Romanum-Can only be used for educational and non-profit purposes Olympus is a mountain range in northern Greece. The highest peak is called Mount Olympus and raises around 9,600 feet high. The whole range stretches between Thessaly and Macedonia. In mythology it is best known as the home of the gods, and the overall center of the earth. The 12 Olympian Gods are the best known inhabitants of this mountain peak. It was said that no elements disturbed them above, and that all of the gods were to meet there when called upon by Zeus.

Olympus was protected by a special layer of clouds that the Seasons had control over. It was very common for the gods to meet in the hall and feast on ambrosia and nectar served by the goddess Hebe. They would then rejoice by the music of Apollo and the nine muses.
