I typed in Olympic Games and Olympia until I thought of Summer Olympic Games and even Summer Olympia. Too stupid for 'Summer Olympics'. (though the term is probably incorrect for 1896, as there were no 'Winter Olympics' back then).

Just "Olympics" would have worked, but I added "Olympic Games" and "Olympiad" as well.

The Greek word for Greece is actually Ελλάδα (Elláda). Ἑλλάς (Hellás) is also used but Elláda is used more.

Uranus is still not accepted. Thunder or something should be added in the clue to exclude him.

Many people confuse ancient Macedon with the modern-day country of Macedonia (FYROM).

Alexander The Great was the king of a Proto-Greek kingdom of Macedon, the modern nation known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Correct Name for understanding) is inhabited by a offshoot of the Slavic people, closely related to modern Bulgarians, known as Slavic Macedonians, that settled in the north of Macedonia around the 7th Century and assimilated some of Macedonian Greeks. Confusion arises due to the government of FYROM cultural and historical misappropriation of key figures and symbols. This is common mistake though.

First of all, Greece became independent in 1821, also, you should add to the Olympics question "as well as every 4 years between 776BCE, and 394CE"

The additional Olympic years are not needed to make the clue correct, but adding your suggestion would be too much of a giveaway!

Delphi is obviously the answer that you’re looking for, but there was also the famous Oracle of Zeus in Dodona. Maybe accept it as a type-in or add Apollo to exclude it?

Am I the only one who thought the peninsula referred to the Peloponnese? Because that is a real peninsula. Balkan includes a lot more landmass, which looks hardly like a peninsula anymore. If Balkan was one, then so would be Italy, if not more so.

shouldn't north macedonia be accepted now since it is that on other quizes plus that is the offical name.

No, because it refers to the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia. The modern state of North Macedonia was exactly renamed to avoid the confusion with the ancient state.

I also think that Peloponnes should be accepted as an alternate answer since it is a peninsula that part of Greece is located on.
