  1. Zeus: King of the gods and sky god
  2. Hera: Queen of the gods
  3. Poseidon: God of Water
  4. Hermes: Messenger God
  5. Artemis: Nature, Wildlife and Moon Goddess
  6. Athena: Goddess of Wisdom and Crafts
  7. Aphrodite: Goddess of Love
  8. Hestia: Goddess of Hearth and Home
  9. Demeter: Goddess of Agriculture
  10. Ares: God of War
  11. Hephaestus: God of Metalworking
  12. Apollo: God of the Sun
( Not really a God because Zeus kicked him out of Olympus but there is a God of the Underworld named Hades. But we don't count him as a major god like the others.)

Hades was not kicked out of Olympus, he simply chose to spend his time in the Underworld.

Also, it should be noted that the Greeks viewed their gods as being omnipotent and omnipresent, just as we view our God. They did not have limited powers, but they did have realms over which they were responsible. It was a given, though, that ANY god could perform a given task, as all of the Olympians took over for Titans (i.e. Apollo for Helios, Zeus for Kronos, Artemis for Selene. etc.).
