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

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.

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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

"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!)

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.

Nemesis is Invidia, Rivalitas, or Invidentia.

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

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

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!
