voila ma petite etudiente de dieux...
i hope this renders you happy :)
Zeus
Hera
Poseidon
Ares
Hermes
Hephaestus
Aphrodite
Athena
Apollo
and Artemis are always considered Olympians
Heracles
Hebe
Helios
Hestia
Demeter
Dionysus
Hades
and Persephone are variable meaning they can change because they rule the underworld :) or are just not as important
and they are called the "twelve olympians"
Zeus is the highest ranking and most powerful god, the ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky.
Poseidon, together with Hades is one of the two next most senior gods, god of the sea, rivers and springs, floods and earthquakes.
Hera is the wife of Zeus, the goddess Queen of the heavens and stars, of marriage and fidelity.
Demeter is the goddess of the fertile earth and agriculture. Her bounty sustains mankind.
Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, animals, wilderness and the protector of young girls.
Apollo is the god of prophesy, light, music, healing, disease and medicine and archery.
Athena is the goddess of wisdom, the crafts (especially weaving, pottery and carpentry), inner beauty, education and defensive war.
Hephaestus is the god of fire, workmanship, artisans and weaponry and the craftsman of the gods.
Ares is the god of offensive war and slaughter.
Aphrodite is the goddess of love, sexuality, outer beauty and attraction.
Hermes is the god of guidance, travelers, commerce, inventions, oratory, shepherds, consolation and reunions, athletics, patron of thieves, and messenger of the Gods.
Hestia is the goddess of the home, family and the hearth.
Dionysus is the youngest of the Olympians, and the god of wine, vegetation, fertility and the theater. He alternates with Hestia in ancient lists of the twelve Olympians. Some scholars do not count Dionysus among the Olympian gods because though he is the son of Zeus, his mother was a mortal.
Underworld
Hades is the god king of the third portion of the universe, the dark gloomy underworld, home of the dead.
Persephone is the goddess queen of the underworld, death, and spring renewal.
Other Gods
Heracles is the god protector of man from evil and of heroic endeavour (after his elevation to godhood).
Helios is the god of the sun, brother of the moon, Selene, and the dawn Eos.
Hebe is the goddess of youth and brides.

There were twelve Olympians, or rather twelve thrones on Mt. Olympus for the Olympian deities to sit, but you may run across fourteen different names for the Olympian gods and goddesses. Hestia, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hades are variable. The remaining ten are: Apollo, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon, and Zeus, among the gods; Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, and Hera, among the goddesses.

For a nerd, you haven't figured out how to use the spell checker?
Hmmmm....
Honey, second of all, how about anyone who can Google can find the answers.
Oh, gee... did the kids get the computer tonight?

Your question provides me a headache because you requested truly about celeb Wars NERDS and then requested in the journey that they were actual NERDS or not. There are huge celeb Wars NERDS. you are able to spot them actual because they write fan fiction and, at the same time as requested, state their faith as Jedi. celeb Wars NERDS are worse than celeb Trek NERDS. celeb Trek GEEKS are worse than celeb Wars GEEKS.
