	Why is this quiz in the religion category? More appropriate for History.

	Penthesilea is also an accepted spelling. Actually, I've never seen Penthesileia.

	1) More options needed for the Greek transliteration. 2) Pyrrhus is another name for Achilles' son. I didn't try it but Alexander is another name for Paris. 3) We need more Trojans, especially Trojan women, such as Cassandra, Andromache, Hecuba. Perhaps some men could include Priam (needs to be here) Anchises, Astayanax, Deiphobus, Helenus, and allies like Glaucus and Sarpedon. If you have Sinon, you need Laocoon. On the Greek side, maybe Idomeneus and Calchas. 4) I'm pretty sure Ares, being the consort of Aphrodite, fought staunchly with the Trojans. Athena needs to be on the side of the Greeks, for several reasons. In the theomachy of Iliad Book 20, Artemis, Leto and Scamander fought for the Trojans and Hermes and Hephaestus fought for the Greeks. Double check your facts on Poseidon and Hera. One could make the argument that Artemis allowed the favorable winds after the "sacrifice" of Iphigenia, and that Zeus engineers the entire Trojan war from the very beginning, thereby needing no distraction until Book 14 when Hera distracts him for other reasons. Otherwise, FANTASTIC QUIZ!!!

	@RS89: This war has never been proven to have happened. It is like all Greek Mythology. @magister: I actually have not read the Illiad yet. This comes from a classical mythology book I own. Also, what do you mean "the Greek transliteration".

	Transliteration is the act of transferring the letters in an alphabet into another alphabet. Hence, the god of metalworking's name in Greek is something like "(aspiration mark) eta phi alpha iota sigma tau omicron sigma" (Sorry about this) in English, it can be Hephaestus or Hephaistos. There are a lot of instances when people who have studied the Iliad in different translations struggle with these spellings. Aias and Ajax is a good example, as well as the queen of Troy Hecuba (aka Hecabe, Hekabe, Hekuba depending on the translation.)

	Helen was Greek; she was the daughter (sort of--really she was Zeus's daughter) of the King of Sparta and it was only by marrying her that Menelaus became King of Sparta.

	@emn8: redsox19 has not indicated the ethnicity of the characters, but rather their allegiance in the war. Therefore, since different authors have given Helen allegiance to Greece and Troy at different times, it is impossible to show where her true allegiance lies, if in fact she has any allegiance to anything at all.

	@magister: How do you know so much about classical mythology? I'm actually studying Classical Civilizations right now, and just find it really interesting you know so much. The Trojan War is my favorite story that got me into classics in the first place, so fun quiz for me :). Although I would definitely like to see more names added.

	@alyr57: It's actually kind of embarrassing, but I've been reading mythology since I was in second grade. At one point, I would tell people I wanted to do something with mythology as my job. Twenty years later and I'm teaching Latin and mythology. I have a BA in Latin and I'm working on my Masters in Classics.

	I believe tkegameboy is correct in that Penthesilea should be accepted. Excepting that, very good quiz! magister - your knowledge in this province is quite impressive!

	You have managed to spell Achillies two differnt ways, please check this. Also accept the alternative Meneloas. @alyr57: I'm also studying classics and this is one of the materials I have to study (A2) which explains my rudimental knowledge... Spelling is my issue.

	@Redsocks There is actually emerging evidence to support the Trojan war. They found a city in the place descibed as Troy, fitting the description of 'windy city' which was found to have been involved in a long siege. Also, forgot to mention, please accept the Roman names for the gods as Virgil was the writer of the Aeneid and he wrote it with the Roman God/Godesses in place of the Greek and there is a close link between the Iliad and the Aeneid. Sorry for the double post.
