The Olympians are a fictional species in the
Marvel Comics universe, based loosely on the
Twelve Olympians and other
deities of
Greek mythology.The Olympians are a race of extra-dimensional beings that possess a variety of superhuman abilities that were once worshipped on Earth as gods from roughly 2,500 B.C. until roughly 500 A.D. The Olympians are related to every other pantheon of "gods" that have ever been worshipped on Earth, such as the
Asgardians and the
Gods of Heliopolis (ancient Egypt), due to the fact that
Gaea, the spirit that represents life on Earth, was the mother of the first race of "gods" to appear on Earth. The various pantheons that exist today are the descendants of these earlier "gods." It is believed that the Olympians were born somewhere on Earth but currently reside in another dimension that is adjacent to Earth known as Olympus. One known entrance to this realm is actually located atop Mount Olympus in Greece.
