You recognize them. Writing the name is the hard part.

Most people can point at Zeus. Fewer can sit down and type the pantheon without a picture to lean on. The stall gets worse once a name has two passports: the Greek form you met in a myth book, and the Roman form that shows up in English poetry. Jupiter and Zeus are one god here. This page is that blank-list moment in a browser. Each name is checked against the pantheon list further down.

Recognition is not recall. Format shared with every other category: What is the Name 100 challenge?. Same blank-box idea as naming countries — and, if you want a shorter scientific list after this one, name the elements.

100 Challenge or All 351 — same blank list

A hundred Greek gods and goddesses is a high but reachable target if you sweep the famous names first. If you want every distinct English name on the list — Olympians, Titans, and the rest — switch the tab to All 351. Same blank list, same answer table, no multiple choice; the only difference is where the round stops. The 100 Challenge stops at 100 so you can see your count without making every deity the win condition.

What counts

• The answer list is the English names of Wikidata items typed as a Greek deity, an Olympian god, or a titan. Olympians, Titans, primordials, nymphs, and other figures count only when they are on that list.
• Roman names and other spellings on the same row count once. Jupiter and Zeus are one, and so are Vesta and Hestia, Mars and Ares, Juno and Hera. A planet, a ship, or a name that is not on the list does not count.
• Another spelling of the same entry is rejected. Kronos and Cronus are both the titan Cronus.
• Real people, modern film characters that are not the mythic entity, and place names such as Mount Olympus do not count. Use the common English name.
• No map and no hard cutoff. Timer starts on your first submit. Finish anytime, or the round ends at 100 (351 in All 351).

Olympians first, then Titans, then nymphs

Say the Olympians Wikidata marks as Olympian gods, then the Titans — Cronus, Rhea, Oceanus, Prometheus, and the rest of that generation. A third pass is nymphs, then the longer list of Greek deities. Kronos and Cronus are one entry, and so are Jupiter and Zeus.

List of the Greek gods and goddesses

Wikidata returns 359 distinct items typed as a Greek deity, an Olympian god, or a titan. 357 have an English label and are listed here; 2 items in that set have no English label, so they are not shown. The game uses the 351 distinct English names: a repeated label counts once. A Roman name in parentheses, and the other Roman names stored with that god (Mars for Ares, Juno for Hera, and the rest), score as that same name. Names are grouped by the extra types those items carry.
