Fun quiz. One quibble, I think Atlas actually was supposed to be holding up the sky/heavens, rather than the world itself. The globe he is often depicted holding is the celestial sphere, not the terrestrial globe (per Wikipedia). That said, it's still obvious who the clue is referring to, so no big deal.

For the question "place where heroes go in the afterlife," you should accept "Elysium." That's really its common name.

Otherwise, two thumbs-up for innovation.

great quiz, mainly because you are using the Greek names and not the latin ones. Please replace furies with Erinyes, which is the proper Greek name. Also Grypas which is the ancient greek name for griffin and Pollux is actually Polydeukes in Greek.

Very nice quiz! I had to cheat in order to get them all, but this only due to the spelling. I know them in Greek and for some, it is very difficult to write them in english (p.e. Circe, Pollux). It would be nice to have even more alternatives (i know it has many already)
