Along with these gods and goddesses, known as the Oylimpians, there were two others who were main gods and goddesses
Hades: god of the Underworld and the Dead (kicked off Oylmpus)
Hestia: Goddess of the Home and Hearth (gave up seat as an Oylmipian for Dionsyus, maiden goddess)
Besides these there were other minor gods and goddesses, along with large and primal monsters and demons which were usually offspring of gods and nature spirits, such as the Chimera, Minotaur and Cyclopses. Also, a few people were turned into monsters because of their arrogance, such as Medusa and Ariadne.

Depends on which myth you're talking about. There's lots. However, the gods were:
Zeus/Jupiter, god of the sky
Posiedon/Neptune, god of the sea
Hera/Juno, goddess of marriage/family
Aphrodite/Venus, goddess of beauty/love
Artemis/Diana, goddess of hunters/the moon
Apollo, god of music/poetry/the sun
Hermes/Mercury, god of thieves
Ares/Mars, god of war
Athena/Minerva, goddess of wisdom
Demeter/Ceres, goddess of the harvest
Dionysus/Bacchus, god of wine
Hephaestus/Vulcan, smith god
And then Hades/Pluto, who didn't live on Olympus like the other gods, but in the Underworld. He is the god of the dead. Also Hestia/Vesta, goddess of home/hearth, who gave up her throne on Olympus to avoid having the unlucky number of 13 gods on Olympus when Dionysus came along.
It depends upon which set of myths you are talking about, and from which culture they come from. Ever since the dawn of the human race, people all over the world have been creating mythological beings, heroes and creatures. Each ancient culture has it's own set of mythological figures, running into dozens and even hundreds within each race, tribe or civilisation, so the total number of characters formed throughout history all over the world would probably number tens of thousands! You need to be more specific about which mythology you are asking about.
All of the Roman myths (aside from the founding myths of Rome - like Romulus and Remus) are Greek myths. The names were simply changed, but the entire mythology was preserved.
