Gods of Olympus: A Journey into Greek Antiquity

Her Friday, September 23 Olympus “moves” to Foundation of Greater Hellenism, “opens” its doors and invites young and old to admire the greatness of Greek mythology and its legendary Dodekatheos.

How did almighty Zeus rule Gods and men? Why was the Goddess Demeter forced to say goodbye to her daughter once a year? How did the other Gods deal with warlike Mars? What strange had happened at the birth of the Goddess Athena?

In the ancient Greek myths – which were loved and traveled beyond the borders of Greece and influenced the religion, life and worldview of many peoples – the Twelve Gods of Olympus lead the way with their rituals, passions, loves and conflicts. They are the focus of the great mythological thematic exhibition “Gods of Olympus” which is also coming to Athens.

In a huge landscaped space in the Hellenic World of the Greater Hellenistic Foundation of 1,800 square meters, technology meets legend: imposing exhibits, wall mapping, guided tours, escape rooms, holograms, interactive acts dress up the lives and experiences of the 12 Gods of Olympus and reveal well-known and unknown aspects of their character.

The purpose of this report? To understand the deeper symbolism that these myths hide, but also the ancient Greek knowledge and wisdom.

The scientific editing of the exhibition belongs to the acclaimed historian Thanos Veremis.

Great Greek actors lend their voices to the Twelve Gods of Olympus: Zeus (Emilios Cheilakis), Hera (Maria Solomou), Dimitra (Dafni Lambrogianni)Athena (Katerina lechou), Venus (Maria Naufliotou), Apollo (Vladimiros Kyriakidis), Artemis (Nadia Boulet), Hermes (Thanasis Viskadurakis), Mars (Nikos Vourliotis), Neptune (Yannis Stankoglou), Home (Athena Maximou) and Hephaestus (Dimitris Piatas).
