DC's Greek Mythology

The Olympians came into being from the effects of the Godwave energy spilled forth from the creation of the Fourth World, and came to power in the ancient world after overthrowing the Titans. This battle had weakened them and Hecate realized that if viewed as threat they would be a target of other gods of the universe. As a result she cast a spell that caused anyone that knew of them to believe they were much younger than themselves and therefore not worth bothering with. However, Uxas came to Earth and told stories of their exploits to the inhabitants of Rome. This caused worship of the Olympians to increase so dramatically that to cope they split themselves into the Greek and Roman gods who eventually became separate beings.
