Abstract
The Greek gods are collectively designated in the literary sources as Olympian, with a clear reference to their seat on the top of Olympos mountain, or more generally in heaven. Beginning with nineteenth-century scholarship, Olympian deities have been considered a monolithic divine category separate from the chthonic deities in a dichotomous understanding of Greek religion.
