Replying to both of you in this thread: this error was a mistake from when i first made the quiz and this is about the seventh time I've tried to fix this. I have no idea what's going on because in my editing the hint says 'god of dreams' for this answer, and yet when I save and submit it nothing changes. Thank you for pointing this out, rest assured I know it's wrong. I have tried to fix it again hopefully it works this time :/

Bellerophon was struck for attempting to ascend Olympus, not for daring to ride Pegasus

There could be other nitpicks but this is a pretty comprehensive and difficult quiz so I will give kudos.

No thank you for your nitpick I love it when people are pedantic (because I definitely am). I've fixed it so it doesn't imply that he was struck down just for riding the horse :)
