This is very much still in progress. I'm taking ideas for other groups of figures to include, and the formatting will definitely get reworked, but I thought I'd put it up anyway.

	Nice quiz. Maybe you could also add eodipus and his father and mother, but I don't know what category that would be.

	accept other spellings of hephaestus and lachesis maybe

	Fun quiz! But I agree that you need to accept more spellings. Also, you sometimes have the names end with -us and sometimes -os. The first is the Latin ending and the latter is Greek. So I suggest you accept both endings for all names. Terpsichore should also be accepted.

	Good idea, but lots of problems. As another commenter said, Terpsichore should be accepted. Hephaestus, Heracles, and Lachesis should DEFINITELY be accepted as they are the most widely used spellings of the names. For some reason you forgot about Hermes and Ares entirely. Not sure why Metis is not accepted as one of the Titans.

	Hestia isn't even counted as an Olympian because, in the myth, she gave up her spot to Dionysus. I don't know what other category she'd fall into, but otherwise: same as above comments.

	You forgot Ares as an Olympian...and Hestia is an Olympian, but Dionysus isn't, it is often confused.

	Again, just accepting different spellings.

	@jb225 actually once dionysus was born hestia gave up her seat on olympus to him so she could tend her sacred fire...as seen below http://thanasis.com/dionys.htm

	@mca130680: Please use a more reliable source for a citation than an amateur website from the late 90s that does not cite any of its information, and piggy-backs on the website for a Greek restaurant. I would prefer, actually, a citation from an actual Greek or Roman source about Dionysus and Hestia. Unfortunately, as I have been looking for years and never found one, I'm guessing that the Greeks and Romans did not believe that Hestia gave up her seat for Dionysus.

	Great quiz! I would accept an alternate spelling for Hephaestus though... instead of the Greek-os. I might also add Ares. I am not positive, but I believe that the correct spellings are Theia and Tethys in contrast to Thea and Tetys. Other than that, I loved it!! Great work!
