Mount Olympus, the mythological home of ancient Greece’s 12 Olympian gods, may soon join UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Greeks hope the mountain's blend of myth, culture and natural beauty will secure it a place when the World Heritage Committee meets in South Korea starting Sunday. Mount Olympus is central to Greek mythology. It was where Zeus, king of the gods, was believed to have ruled from, with his throne on its highest peak. The mountain also boasts rich biodiversity. Locals emphasize the need for protection, as increased tourism could impact the environment. Despite its allure, Mount Olympus is challenging, with treacherous terrain claiming lives.
