Step-by-step explanation:

Mount Olympus is the mythical home of the gods in Greek mythology. According to authors, the mountain was created after the Titanomachy, the epic battle between the young gods, the Olympians and the older gods, the Titans. As a result of this battle, the Olympian victors created their new majestic home – Mount Olympus.

Mount Olympus was very important to the Greeks because not only was it told in legend that Zeus and his family lived there, but the flame of olympus dwelt within there and without the flame, all the god's powers were much weaker and so was the land itself.
