I think Pluton or Plouton should be accepted as a Greek variant of Pluto.

They are just other names for the Roman

Same here too.

You should have Demeter included in this quiz.

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Actually, no. Pluton is an alternate Greek name for Hades. Pluto is just the Latinized version that the Romans used. They also used Dis, or Orcus.

Level 30

Feb 9, 2026

That doesn't make sense. The common Greek name for him is Hades. Why would a quiz ask for basically the same name as the hint?

great quiz!

Level 49

Jan 9, 2015

Isn't 'Apollo' the god of the sun and 'Helios' the Greek word for sun? Either way, I think 'Apollo' should still work for 'Sol'...unless I totally have Apollo mixed up with someone else. Any help?

As with most things mythological, it's complicated. They were originally two separate and distinct gods (though technically, Helios was a Titan), but they got conflated sometime around 300 BCE-ish. Similarly, Apollo's sister Artemis was not originally a goddess of the moon, but she got conflated with Helios' sister Selene (Luna, to the Romans.)

Level 20

Nov 26, 2018

Apollo has the same name in Greek and Roman mythology.

Level 65

Sep 28, 2019

Apollo is god of the sun, but Sol isn't Apollo's Roman name, seeing as it stays the same. Sol belongs to Helios, Titan (generation before the gods) of the Sun

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

By your logic, Hecate and Selene's Roman names can be Diana? Just because they are the deities of the same thing, that doesn't mean they are the same gods.

Level 26

Sep 22, 2022

Apollo was the god of the sun, every day he drove a chariot across the sky dragging along with him the sun, whereas Helios (Sol) literally was the sun.

Level 17

Nov 15, 2015

helios is the greek god of the sun

Level 7

Dec 25, 2015

agreed.

Level 65

Sep 28, 2019

Well yes, but technically a Titan, who are also technically gods, but are the parents of the gods, you know what nevermind.

Level 76

Feb 11, 2020

Relationship status: it's complicated

Level 66

Mar 9, 2016

This could be improved slightly by making answers fit only the highlighted box. But I like it nonetheless.

Level 71

Mar 24, 2016

I think 'Athene' should be accepted for Athena

Level 69

Nov 3, 2018

I agree, this is a more correct transliteration of the Greek name and not so uncommon. The same for Here and Haides.

Level 28

Apr 4, 2016

helios and kronos are titans not gods, should make it clear

+10

Level 69

Nov 3, 2018

Titans are Gods, just not Olympians.

Level 43

Nov 9, 2018

So is Gaia - but as IPS said, they are still gods in the sense that they are immortal deities.

Level 26

Sep 22, 2022

Gaia wasn't a Titan, she was a Primordial; the generation before the Titans like the Titans were the rulers and the generation before the Olympians.

Level 66

Apr 14, 2016

You should make the quiz so that you have to know the pairs. What I mean is do the yellow box thing.

Level 33

Dec 11, 2016

Heil Zeus!

Level 76

Feb 11, 2020

That would/should be Χαῖρε Ζεύς. Or atleast something similar, I might be a bit off, it is better than heil/hail Zeus though.

Level 42

Jan 8, 2017

Aced it with 💯 just because I've read Percy Jackson.

And it's numerous little side books.

And fan fiction.

Level 52

Mar 14, 2017

Pretty sure Gaia was a Titan... if not, she definitely was not a goddess, as she had relations with Ouranos to create the Titans.

Level 28

May 26, 2017

I agree.I was confused why titans were here,i was only guessing gods!

Level 69

Nov 3, 2018

"Titans" is just a word to refer to the Gods that ruled the world before the Olympians. So Titans are Gods, just not Olympians. Moreover, Gaia is not a Titan but a Primordial Goddess (before the Titans!)

I can just imagine showing this to my friends, who are almost as hardcore fans of Rick Riordan as I am and seeing their reaction. Unless this was because of auto-correct.

Level 57

I never knew that Cronus and Chronos are two different gods/titans. And I thought I knew quite a bit about greek mythology ... Learning something new every day :D.

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Chronus is from Orphism. Cronus is from Hellenism, or Greek Mythology.

Level 66

Apr 6, 2018

you forgot to add apollo

Level 74

Nov 2, 2018

As clue or answer?

Level 80

Nov 2, 2018

Yeah, that'd be tough, as the Roman version of Apollo was... Apollo.

Level 69

Nov 3, 2018

Well, I think most people would fail that since it's too obvious

Level 66

Jul 8, 2023

Apollo Greek and Roman names are Apollo.

Level 79

Apr 11, 2018

I spelled Gaia wrong.

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Gaea works, I'm not sure if it works in the quiz, but it should.

Level 46

Mar 29, 2023

Yeah, I typed it and it works.

Level 66

Jul 16, 2018

When trying to spell "Hephaestus"...

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Hephaistos should work

Level 36

Apr 1, 2021

can confirm. that's what i typed in.

Level 66

Jul 16, 2018

ItsDaBunnyYT I believe there is a reason for restricting the addition of Apollo, because in Greek it is "Apollo" and in Roman it is still "Apollo." Like Nemesis and Janus (the goddess of Revenge and the God of doorways), Apollo's name does NOT change from the translation from Greek to Roman.

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Nemesis is Invidia, Rivalitas, or Invidentia.

Level 66

Nov 5, 2018

Helios isn't a God. He was the titan of the Sun. Apollo is the sun god, and helios is the titan.

Level 65

Nov 6, 2018

Titans are Gods !

Not Olympian but Gods anyway...

Level 65

Sep 28, 2019

Yeah, seriously look at the comments above you, this has come up at least 3 times.

Level 38

Feb 10, 2019

Demeter is a greek goddess and one of the Olympians, Roman name being Ceres, maybe add her to the list as she is sort of a female counterpart to Dionysus/Bacchus

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

The counterpart part was debatable

Level 68

Nov 26, 2019

Kinda strange that when asked to give the greek names of gods, the answer is the latinized spelling. Should be Kronos, Dionysos, Hephaistos etc.

Level 33

Sep 9, 2020

Yes! Finally! Someone who understand this. However, latinization is not Roman equivalent. Those are different. Also, idiots that don't understand wouldn't understand.

Level 23

Jan 14, 2020

Where all the Riordan verse fans at?

Level 76

Feb 11, 2020

This quiz really would benefit from having a yellow box, otherwise it is rather pointless. I think many people have some names floating around, without really knowing what they belong to. I think most people taking this quiz are atleast partly simply listing whatever comes to their mind and see if something sticks

Level 72

Feb 15, 2021

I think the fact that Apollo in Rome is Apollo in Greece is the best possible reason for adding him to this quiz! It would make for an interesting comment thread of people who missed the answer anyway! If you do that, definitely yellow-box the quiz!

Level 79

May 27, 2021

I know Eros cuz of Versace Eros

Level 62

May 31, 2021

Helios is not a god, he's a titan.

Level 66

Jul 8, 2023

Titans are gods.

Level 63

Jul 11, 2021

Gaea isn't a god nor a titan, and Cronos is a cannabis company; perhaps go with Kronos or Cronus.

Level 66

Jul 8, 2023

Gaia is a primordial god

Level 65

Aug 13, 2021

Percy Jackson helped me get the majority of these

Level 40

Feb 12, 2024

Same! I loved reading that series as it was coming out. Still love reading it. And the books combing the Roman mythology in helped even more. Heroes of Olympus, weren’t they?

Level 88

Feb 10, 2022

I was hoping you'd toss Apollo on there.

Level 39

Sep 28, 2022

nice quiz, but i think type-ins for chronos and athene would help, because those are common spellings.

Level 55

Jan 27, 2023

Having Ancient Greek class might actually be useful for things that aren't etymology like I just guessed Helios because that's Greek for sun, and it worked.

Level 71

May 9, 2023

I tried Freddie for the second one

Level 72

Apr 25, 2024

He is Queen, not a god

Level 41

Feb 20, 2025

Guessing planets doesn‘t help, but guessing small moons in the outer system almost nobody knows about helps!

Level 64

May 25, 2025

Justice for poor Apollo. And Demeter. But mostly Apollo.

Level 18

Nov 19, 2025

They probably didn't have Apollo because he has the same name in greek and roman.
