How many gods/goddesses are there in total in greek mythology?

Question

If there was a diagram with every god in it, that would be cool, but I doubt you can find that, so a number will do I guess.

Approximately equivalent to the number of angels who can dance on the head of a pin. — Lauren-Clear-Monica-Ipsum, May 1, 2016 at 13:05

A lot.

Theoi has a nice family tree-

And so you count, and get a total of...

3142 gods/godesses

If you count the Potami, Naiads, and Astriaos as 1 god/goddess, and including Titans as gods.
