Mount Olympus of the Twelve Thrones

The myth

Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece, between Thessaly and Macedonia, was the home of the gods. Homer tells that Hephaestus built there a palace for each god and that the Hours kept its gates of cloud; the Odyssey says Olympus is never shaken by winds, wet by rain or covered by snow, but always bathed in light. The Greeks honored the Twelve Gods, though the list varied, sometimes including Hestia, sometimes Dionysus. In Athens there was an Altar of the Twelve Gods in the agora.

Why it has this power

An Epic field: while it is active, all Deities and Warriors gain 500 ATK and DEF, and Darkness monsters lose 400. Everything that exists answers to this summit: gods and heroes grow stronger under the eternal light, and the shades of Hades grow weaker.

Did you know

Olympus's highest summit, Mytikas, about 2,918 meters high, was not officially climbed until 1913.
