Taking Leave of Olympus
Reference
For years scholars have argued the substantial position of Olympus among the realm of mythology. While some say it referred apt the actual mountain summit, others demand that it was a fantastical abode in the sky namely sat atop smokes. In truth, the archaic poet, Homer, narrated Olympus both ways in The Iliad.
Other gods/goddesses chose to take depart of Olympus. Demeter, the Goddess of Grains and Crops left her home in the sky while Zeus allowed Hades to whisk her daughter Persephone to the underworld. Furious, Demeter withheld her gifts of grain and crops until it was compromised that Persephone would only cost the winter in the underworld and return during the spring and summer (accordingly [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when crops grew). Demeter, taking depart of Olympus, spent her time above globe, awaiting her daughters annual return. This can be unraveled as the Greeks' path of explaining a normal phenonmenon--the four seasons and their annually transgressions.
Location
Mount Olympus, a tip in Thessaly, Greece reaches 2,917 meters in elevation. This particular scope of mountains is shrouded by abundant clouds and famous for its botanical life, gentle weathers and snow-capped ridges.Appropriately, this was too the home of the gods/goddesses in Greek Mythology, especially the 12 Great Olympians: Zeus [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hera, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hera, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hermes, Artemis and Hephaestus.
While the gods and goddesses did share Olympus as their home, they each had their own separate terrains from which they could rule. The gods, however, held councils in a common area, ordinarily Zeuss palace. There were rules and definite ways of life the gods were anticipated to uphold in Olympus, and could be exiled if a rule were broken.
Despite its inconclusive location, it is coincided that Olympus is not to be blundered for Heaven. Zeus ruled the skies and the heavens, Poseidon the seas, and Hades the underworld (the dead). These are separate entities from Olympus, which simply housed the gods/goddesses.
