Let me just tell you that there are over 300 divine creatures of different status in the Greek myths. So I will just give you the Olympians "The big 12":
Zeus, Hera, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Demeter. Roman names in the same order: Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Apollo, Diana, Mars, Mercury, Bacchus, Venus, Neptune, Vulcan, Ceres
*People keep including Hestia and Hades in the big 12, but this is incorrect. Hades preferred to stay in the Underworld instead of in Olympus, and Hestia gave up her throne on Olympus so that Dionysus (aka Bacchus in Roman mythology) could take her place.
