The AWAD for last Monday was "pantheon".
Once a pantheon hosted great deities
With a taste for vestal virginities.
The Hall of Fame of today
Honors games children play
And "jocks" are our only divinities.
pantheon (PAN-thee-on) noun
1. A collection of people highly respected in a particular field.
2. A temple dedicated to all the gods.
3. All the gods of a people or religion collectively.
4. A public building containing tombs of illustrious people.
After Pantheon, a domed circular temple in Rome, built c. 120 AD. From Greek pantheion (temple of all the gods), from pan- (all) + theos (gods). [per Anu]
