The twelve olympians:
1. Zeus is the highest ranking and most powerful god, the ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky.
2. Poseidon, together with Hades is one of the two next most senior gods, god of the sea, rivers and springs, floods and earthquakes.
3. Hera is the wife of Zeus, the goddess Queen of the heavens and stars, of marriage and fidelity.
4. Demeter is the goddess of the fertile earth and agriculture. Her bounty sustains mankind.
5. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, animals, wilderness and the protector of young girls.
6. Apollo is the son of Zeus, god of prophecy, light, music, healing, disease and medicine and archery.
7. Athena is the goddess of wisdom, the crafts (especially weaving, pottery and carpentry), inner beauty, education and defensive war.
8. Hephaestus is the god of fire, workmanship, artisans and weaponry and the craftsman of the gods.
9. Ares is the god of offensive war and slaughter.
10. Aphrodite is the goddess of love, sexuality, outer beauty and attraction.
11. 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.
12. 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.

Don't go to wikipedia. Because whatever is there is probably copied and pasted from the Encyclopedia Mythica.
There isn't one table of gods and thier domain, but there are geneology charts and you can do searches, look at pictures and read stories about them. This way, you get a better overall picture than a table can give you.

If you are doing this for homework, you should actually do your homework and look for it yourself. This is the purpose of homework. You don't really ever need to know who these Gods & Goddeses are but you will need to know how to search for information. This is all part of the learning process.
