| | I believe there is. The assignment of twelve gods to each of the months clearly preceded the allocation of the Zodiac Signs among the same twelve Olympians. | | | Twelve gods for twelve months, originally the month gods seem to have been deities in whose honor a festival was held on the first day of each month. | | | Charlotte R. Long [5], author of the excellent The Twelve Gods of Greece and Rome (a main source for this article), believes this theory is clearly contradicted by the arrangements on the sides of the so-called Altar, found in Gabii in 1793 by Gavin Hamilton excavating on behalf of Prince Borghese. |

| | There are twelve proper Olympians: Zeus; his two brothers Poseidon and Hades, his two sisters Hestia and Hera (who is also his wife); his children Ares, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, and Artemis; and two gods sometimes considered his offspring, Hephaestus and Aphrodite. | | | Aside from the twelve Olympians, there are two equally important gods who reside on earth: Demeter and Dionysus (Bacchus). | | | The term “Olympians” comes from Mount Olympus, the gods’ mystical home, which is conceived as a high mountaintop but is really a magical place that exists on a heavenly plane—not the heavens (which Zeus alone rules), earth, sea, nor underworld. |

| | The twelve gods most closely associated with Zeus and Olympus are referred to as the Olympians. | | | The actual membership is thirty-nine, being the Grand Priest or Priestess of each of the twelve Olympians, plus Zeus, plus two others chosen by the Grand Priest(ess). | | | It is their worship that is the primary mark of the Greco-Roman pantheon, although there is conflict amongst the Olympians, conflict with the remaining Titans/Numina, as well as plenty of deities and personages of lesser potency. |

| | The most impressive temples tended to be dedicated to a limited number of gods: the twelve Olympians, Heracles, Asclepius and occasionally Helios. | | | In many familiar epic poems set in the "age of heroes," the twelve Olympians are said to have appeared in person. | | | For some, the three main generations of gods in Hesiod's Theogony (Uranus, Gaia, etc.; the Titans and then the Olympians) suggest a distant echo of a struggle between social groups, mirroring the three major high cultures of Greek civilization: Minoan, Mycenaean and Hellenic. |
