Among them, Hestia gave his place to Dionysus, because he lived with human beings. Hades (Hades) and Persephone (afterlife) are sometimes included in the Twelve Olympians (Ulysses' secret instrument), but generally Hades is excluded because he is the ruler of the underworld.

The most important gods in Greek mythology and religion, they live on the sacred Mount Olympus. Under the guidance of Zeus, he defeated Titan and gained the dominance of the universe. The concept of "Twelve Gods" originated earlier than the existing ancient Greece or Rome, which may be the origin of Anatoly. In Homer's epic, the gods meet in an assembly.
However, the first reference to the ancient religious ceremony of the gods of Olympus was found in Homer's prayer to Hermes. The worship of Olympus 12 in Greece can be traced back to Athens in the 6th century BC, which may have no precedent in Mycenae civilization. The Altar of the Twelve Gods of Olympus in Athens was usually set up during the reign of Postus (522-52 BC1).
The list of the Twelve Gods is different, but in ancient religious worship, poetry and artistic works, they are classified as Zeus, Hera, Dionysus (or Hestia), Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, hephaestus and Hermes.
Although the status of Hades is similar to that of Zeus and Poseidon, and it also has the same influence in the system of Olympus, it is generally excluded from the Twelve Gods because it is the ruler of Hades. Plato connected the twelve gods with the twelve months. He believes that hades should be associated with the last month to represent the dead. In Huai, Plato rejected Hestia.
Other lists
The twelve gods of Herodotus include Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, themis, Hermes, Cronus, Rhea and Meihua. He also mentioned that Hercules was on another list. On Coase Island, Dionysus and Hercules were added to the Twelve Gods, while Ares and hephaestus were removed.
Pindar, the pseudo-Apollo Dolos, the collection of books and Herodotus thought that Hercules was not one of the twelve gods, but he had his own worship. Lukilos admitted that Hercules and Asclepius were also included, but he did not explain which god gave way.
Olympus system of gods
In ancient Greek religion, "Olympus system" and "worship of the twelve gods" are not the same concept. Although Helius, Selene, Hekate, Herb, eros and other gods are not twelve gods, they all belong to the Olympus system.
Some translators are used to translating twenty Olympians into "Twelve Olympians", and some netizens follow suit. In fact, this translation is completely fabricated, or out of ignorance of Greek culture.
