Mount Olympus

In Greek Mythology, twelve gods and goddesses (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Hestia, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hermes) lived in a palace at the top of Mount Olympus.

Today, people hike Mount Olympus, and no one has reported finding a palace at the top. Imagine that you are the lucky (or unlucky!) climber who discovers the mythical palace. Write about your experiences.
