    Lay down and take a relaxing trip back home The twelve great Gods and Goddesses, considered by most mythographers to be the ruling Pantheon, are (Gods) Zeus, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Hermes, Ares, and Apollo and (Goddesses) Hera, Athena, Artemis, Hestia, Aphrodite, and Demeter. Hades, although a brother to Zeus, did not frequent Olympus and, with Persephone and Hecate, remained mostly in his underworld empire and, therefore, was not considered one of the ruling deities.
