Do you know who is the twelve main God and Goddess of Greece? Do you know what they did?

The twelve Olympians made up a divine family: --

(1) Zeus (Jupiter), the chief; is two brothers next, 
(2) Poseidon (Neptune),  
(3) Hades, also called Pluto; 
(4) Hestia (Vesta), their sister; 
(5) Hera (Juno), Zeus's wife,
(6) Ares (Mars), their son;
      Zeus's children: 
(7) Athena (Minerva), 
(8) Apollo, 
(9) Aphrodite (Venus), 
(10) Hermes (Mercury),
(11) Artemis (Diana);
(12) Hephaestus (Vulcan), Hera's son, sometimes said to be the son of Zeus too.
