The 12 Olympian Gods: Greek Myth's Most Chaotic Family

One was born fully armed out of her dad's head. One invented the lyre and robbed his brother on his first day alive. One got thrown off Mount Olympus and took revenge with a golden chair. Who were the twelve Olympians, and how did each earn a seat? In about 10 minutes: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, plus Hades and Dionysus, and why the "classic twelve" changed depending on who you asked.
