Hermes (god of travellers and messaging),
Apollo (god of prophecy and music and healing),
Hephateous (God of fire and building) ,
Athena (goddess of wisdome and war strategy),
Aphrodite (Goddess of buety),
Artemis (goddess of the hunt, wild things, and maidens),
Demeter (goddess of the harvest),
Hera (Queen of the gods and goddess of marraige),
and Hestia (goddess of the hearth) .
but Hestia gave up her spot for Dionysus (god of wine and madness) which threw off the balance.
