Document Summary
Only olympian born of a mortal woman (semele) Hedes is not an olympian because he does not dwell on olympus, but rather the. He is very influential on mortals because they all die and go to his domain. Hestia is the goddess of the hearth; sacred center of a home where the fire is kindled, the women"s area of the house. As a result of her being a virgin, never has any fun, never goes anywhere and only serves the function of presiding over banquets, she is not considered part of the 12 olympians. The olympians consolidate their power through three battles: titanomacy. Hecatonchires and cyclopes rescued from tartarus to help. Punishments: titans thrown into tartarus, atlas (n. africa) supports the heaven, typhonomachy. Battle with zeus: various versions: zeus fights alone, zeus aided by hermes. Hades: underworld (therefore, not one of the 12 olympians)
