These chess figures are based on Greek mythology.
The myths of the ancient Greeks divide into several groups. The most significant
group is that of the Olympian Gods. Zeus is the father god and the most important of
his fellow deities. Other myths concern secondary deities, heroes and explanations
of natural phenomena. Just as Greek mythology was affected by cults of other lands,
so the more important Greek gods influenced the later Roman Gods.
Some of the figures selected for this chess set are, therefore, given both the Greek
and Roman names. Foremost in the temple of Greek gods were the Olympians,
the elite range of gods and goddesses who were believed to live with their father,
Zeus, on Mount Olympus.
