It's spelled "Renaissance" not "Reniassance"

Otherwise good quiz!

If you're referring to him as the son of Zeus, it would make more sense to use the Greek name Heracles, while still accepting Hercules as an accepted answer imo.

Great quiz though!

You sort of give away the answer to #1 in #20. Also, I'd vote for accepting arabic numbers in addition to roman numerals.

Agree. Also, I'm not sure about Cortes as that's a "H" first name.
