	Awesome quiz. You should accept Kronos for Cronus.

	It now accepts Kronos. ^_^

Comment below threshold: show it

	If you're going to include the ones that are just spelling variations, you should also have Apollo. You can also include things like Eris/Discordia, Nike/Victoria and many others.

	Prosperina should be Proserpina.

	Many sources (e.g. Britannica) spell the name of Cronus's father in Greek Myth as "Uranus", with "Ouranos" as an alternative transliteration of the Greek.

	Yeah...I thought Uranus/Uranus was going to be a "trick" question, and never got the "Ouranos" spelling. Also got stuck when I tried "Herakles"...might want to take that.

	Vote this comment down if you think a quiz quoting atheist views is so offensive that it deserves to be removed from the website.

	I think it would be nicer to have the actual Roman names then the ugly "anglified" ones. i.e. Neptunus, not Neptune. But that's just me. :)

	I would like to see Herakles accepted, as there is no 'c' in greek, same for Kronos, which is already accepted. And as the greek names have to be guessed, it is a little strange to see "Hephaestus", "Dionysus" or again "Cronus", for that matter, with the latin -us endings, although some of them might be common in english transliteration. Would be cool to see the versions with -os also accepted.

	This quiz started with promise, but it suffers from a few issues: - As stated multiple times, there are not always clear or unique equivalents with unique spellings; you need to cover all the possible answers. - Uranus/Ouranos and Hercules/Herakles are pretty academic distinctions, not worth keeping, IMHO. - Why force us to answer in order? If I know Poseidon and not Hestia, I'm penalized, yet it's not as if you're following some canonical order of gods here. Force us to match name to name, sure, but don't withhold later answers from us. - Latona/Leto? Really? Kinda obscure, no?

	Bulletchewer6 - start by looking up the meaning of the word 'atheist', then try again.

	I think this quiz would be better if you made the answers in order. I just think it would make it a little more challenging, because most people can guess some, if not most, of the Olympians. Also, not crazy about Uranus being there and not accepting Uranus as an answer..I thought it was a trick question at first.

	@ Bulletchewer6: If that was true, then they wouldn't have a 'Religion' section on Sporcle
