Where's Demeter? She was the one of the six children of Kronos and Rhea and one of the 12 Major Olympian Gods on the Council. She should be here instead of Dionysus since he replaced Hestia not Demeter

Nice quiz! But since you included one of the major gods who wasn’t an Olympian (technically two), can you add Persephone? She’s the daughter of Demeter and Zeus. Also, you’re missing Ares, the god of war.

Persephone is the wife of Hades, not his daughter
