Gods of Olympus

History
The Gods of Olympus are an extra-dimensional race of beings who were worshipped as gods during the Ancient Greece.

Olympus is ruled by the Seven Olympians: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Hermes, Athena, Apollo, and Ares. An eighth god, Hades, acts as a gatekeeper to the Underworld, where wicked souls are imprisoned in purgatory.

Origin
Following the creation of the universe, Gods are born and worshipped. And with them arise planets and civilizations,while concepts of Order and Chaos, Life and Anti-Life battle for eternal balance.

Above what will be known as Greece, a group of gods form Mount Olympus, a watchtower used to guide the mortals of the Earth.

War of the Universe
The Olympians are summoned to a council by the Wizard Shazam, in order to prepare for the coming war between the Chaos God Eclipso and the Dark God Yuga Khan. The Olympians agree to help the Wizard, as humanity would not survive the war to come.

At the war's final hours, the monitor Mobius plunges his sword into the White Lantern, sending a shockwave throughout the universe. The shockwave displaces Mount Olympus from Earth, thrusting it into what is known as the Sphere of the Gods.

The Quintessence
Following the war, the gods agree to continue their alliance with Shazam and the other old gods, forming the Quintessence.

The Mortal World
As humanity begins to grow and develop, the Olympians continue to influence the mortals.
