| Euripides is spelled wrong, and wasn't the ancient place called Dodona? Other than that, good stuff. |

| This is a solid idea for a quiz, and I'd say you should probably at another 3 minutes to it before I even try to take it. It is like a giant cryptogram based on a foreign alphabet people know a little about, and including (what i'm guessing is) a lot of varied names of people, places and gods. |

| Great quiz, I think you should add more time though. Anyone who can read Greek has no use for this quiz so everyone taking it should get lots of time to turn the gears in their brain to decode these. |

| I know Greek and this was hard. The breathing marks are impossible to distinguish whether it has a rough or smooth breathing. Besides that its not a very flattering font.
But ultimately it was hard because I am just not very familiar with Greek mythology. I was often just transliterating the answer and hoping it was correct. lol! |

| I have a decent knowledge of Greek mythology, but only a basic knowlege of the Greek alphabet (and most of that is only the uppercase letters). Still very fun! |

| Great quiz - thanks! You could probably do an entire sequel based solely on names from the Trojan war cycle, if you were so inclined! :) |

| That middle column was really frustrating because I knew most of them, but could only spell half of them |

| Picking which English spelling would work was the hardest part! Speaking as someone who's studied Classical Greek, however, this was still pretty fun :) |

| Physics (and its Greek-letter variables) is far more useful than I ever realized... |

| My knowledge of the Greek alphabet is mostly related to sororities and fraternities, so I can't really read lowercase Greek. Still, 40 out of 50. Very fun and challenging quiz. Plus, no one can possible claim this is too Amerocentric. |

| Very fun! It turned out to be more like a cryptogram that required some background knowledge. |

| 'Peloponnese' is always hell for me. It should be simple enough to learn how to spell it, but I somehow always have difficulties. :/ |

| I have taught myself to read some Greek, so that went rather smoothly. Being German my main issue was finding the English transliterations. |

| Should be ‘Αθηνάι ( tho there's one instance of ‘Αθηνη in Homer)
and Λεσβος, not as shown |

| Please allow me to be the first classical art nerd to point out that the Acropolis is neither a building nor a structure. |

| What was kinda bugging me was that some of the names I have seen in English spelled with k's and c's interchangeably. For example, Pericles and Perikles. I have also seen Hephaistos for Hephaestus. Hephaestus seems like almost a Latinised spelling of the Greek. |
 | TJL: | Apr 20th, 2012 at 03:45 GMT | 2 points |
| Pretty good, but Ἀθηνάι is the proper spelling for Athens (it's a plural noun, so it has the -αι ending) and Αἵδης is the proper spelling for Hades. Also, the Greek for Hephaestus is missing the accent and rough breathing before the Η so it should be Ἥφαιστος. |

| Percy Jackson and my math/physics background saved me in this quiz. |

| Quite happy to get 50%. Echoing others above I don't suppose you could get it to accept a few alternate spellings? Such as Krete? |
 | HectorVortac: | Apr 30th, 2012 at 18:46 GMT | 1 point |
| Correction: I didn't get 50%, I'm a 50 percenter. |
