The Olympian Family Tree - Athena

The Olympians were the major gods and goddesses of Greek mythology. Their family was dysfunctional, to say the least, with enough adultery and incest to fill any daytime talk show. How much do you know about Athena and her relations?

I counted Dionysus as one of the Olympian... "since" Hestia already gave up her throne for the god of wine.
The question didn't state that, "of the 12 'original' olympian".

Hence, I would like to protest that there is a mistake in the 9th question.

Both Ares and Hephaestus are sons of Zeus and Hera. Why is one a half-sibling and the other a cousin?

9/10 I got #9 wrong for the same reasons sharki-van and RAJAH61 did. In the versions I've read, Hephaestus and Ares were full brothers, and Hestia let Dionysius, another one of Zeus' sons, have her throne. Also, this is the first I've ever heard of Persephone being Zeus' daughter.
