There were another 22 heroes/monsters/etc that were also at some point recognised as gods in some place or time and are included in the Olympian pantheon, most notably Eros and Dionysus.
If including the Primordial deities (which came first), the Titan deities (which came after the Primordials, and before the Olympians), plus the Oceanic and Chthonic deities, there are over a hundred recognised Greek Gods.
Some of them may not have been traditionally considered gods, but the definition changed over time, and according to location. Greece was not a untied country until recent times, but a collection of city states and islands which each venerated different gods and elevated their individual heroes to deities in places. Not all were universally recognised, and some were recognised in one aspect in one part of the Greek empire, and by another aspect in another.
Greek gods were also venerated in other places, such as Troy and Carthage, so worship of the Greek pantheon, in traditional form, spread across Europe, West Sia, and North Africa. The core of the Roman pantheon is based wholly on the Greek gods, and filled out with Roman heroes, and occasionally the gods of the lands they conquered. The berber people (the nomadic inhabitants of North Africa's desert regions) still carry some of these beliefs today.
