We call them ‘Olympians’ because they inhabit Mount Olympus in northern Greece. Like the current members of the House of Windsor, they constitute a dynasty.

Achilles, the greatest warrior fighting on the Greek side in the Trojan War. Achilles’ father, Peleus, was mortal and his mother, Thetis, was a sea nymph.

Aeneas, the founder of the Roman race. His father was a mortal called Anchises and his mother was Aphrodite.
