I believe the gods of Mt. Olympus were made up to explain science. In Ancient Greece, obviously 2,000 - 3,000 years ago, there wasn't a great concept of science, and how to world actually worked, scientifically speaking. The Greeks wanted an explanation of everything (hence why they were great inventors) and because science wasn't around, they needed an explanation so somebody came up with the idea of deities and divine beings, the word spread and the work was done.
It was an extremely complex religion, with all their stories (myths) and creatures and gods, it was a really complex religion. And also very fascinating.
Geia was the universe, mostley the earth a goddess whose son and husband Uranus (a little awkward) had a son; Cronos who had hestiesta, posiedon, hades, Demeter and hera (later zeuses wife)
He swallowed them all, then Rhea (his wife) had Zeus and gave him to some sheaperds and showed cronos a rock in some clothes which he swallowed (a prophesy said cronos will be killed by his child for killing uranus). later Zeus was brought back to Olympus by rhea and he and she made a mixture that they gave to Cronos who promptly threw up Zeus's siblings (being gods they hadn't been digested) who elected Zeus as their leader, they then started a war with the titans and people like that and won
