There are more than you can count, but 12 major ones known as Olympians because they live on Mount Olympus. The Big Three are Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. They're brothers. Zeus is god of the sky; Poseidon rules the sea; Hades controls the underworld. Hera is Zeus' wife and goddess of the family. Artemis and Apollo are twins. Artemis is goddess of the moon; Apollo is god of the sun. Athena is goddess of wisdom; Ares is god of war. Hephaestus is god of the forge; his wife Aphrodite is goddess of love. Hermesis god of messengers and medicine. There's some debate about the 12th one. Some people say Dionysus, god of wine. Others say Demeter, goddess of the harvest.

The ancient Greek world was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states stretching from Spain to Asia Minor. So there was no 'Greece' or capital of Greece - the Greeks were a people not a nation as in today's term.

The slave's job was to insure the child's good behavior. A grammatist taught reading, writing, and simple math. For education in music, a ketharistes taught his students how to play the lyre and an instrument that resembled the oboe. An instructor called a palaestra taught physical education.
