The Greek Pantheon refers to the collection of gods and goddesses worshipped in ancient Greece. These deities were believed to control various aspects of life and nature, such as love, war, wisdom, and the harvest. Major figures include Zeus, the king of the gods; Hera, his wife and goddess of marriage; and Poseidon, the god of the sea. The gods were often depicted in human form and had distinct personalities and stories. Temples were built in their honor, and rituals were performed to gain their favor. The Olympian gods, residing on Mount Olympus, were central to Greek mythology and culture.
