Pantheon

The whole company of a people's gods considered as a set — the "holy race of the deathless gods" Hesiod's Muses sing, the gods Zeus gathers to his house in the Iliad, the "twelve gods" and "eight gods" Herodotus counts in Egypt, the gods who meet at Ithavoll in the Voluspo, and the "Great Company of the Gods" of the Egyptian texts. The word is Greek (pan, all; theoi, gods) and modern in this sense; the sets are ancient.
