Greek history is filled with stories from mythology of the Greek gods, who reigned from atop Mount Olympus, descending from the mountain to meddle in the affairs of mortals. But did this work the other way? In this history video we dive into the question of whether the ancient Greeks believed they could reach the gods on Mount Olympus.

We begin with a discussion of the Greek religious worldview. We then look at the stories they told of Mount Olympus and how figures from mythology climbed its heights. We then look at the realities of the Greeks themselves climbing the mountain.
