How to approach it
The winning move is volume plus obscurity, so treat the prompt as a scavenger hunt through the back of the reference book rather than a quiz on famous deities. Pick one tradition and walk its alphabet from the first entry to the last, writing down every named power you meet, including those attached to a single household task, a season, a river or an emotion. Abstract nouns that were worshipped as persons are especially productive. Epithets and local variants of a well-known figure often have entries of their own, and compound names built from two elements count as separate entries. Before you commit, prune anything that is really a mortal, a ruler or a plain literary character, since a wrong category costs more than a blank.
Get a hint
Start with the fringes of each tradition rather than its best-known figures: every pantheon has hundreds of named minor powers that never appear in a schoolbook.
A little more
Think about what kinds of entities get their own names: guardians of a single household chore, personified emotions, spirits of a particular hour, protectors of a doorway or a boundary.
One step further
The reveal here is dominated by long, hyphenated, vowel-heavy names compiled by Victorian cataloguers, plus Roman abstractions; if a name sounds like a label for a function, it probably qualified.

Why these answers count
Scoring here tracks obscurity almost perfectly. The single hundred-point answer, Cloacina, is a Roman goddess of the sewer whose name most players would never reach, and it sits alone at the top because almost nobody thinks of her. The vast middle band at eighty-five points is stuffed with names like Aa, Abundantia and Acca Larentia: genuine entries from the reference literature, but far enough from everyday knowledge that they feel like finds. Only a hundred and ten answers sit at sixty, the band the puzzle treats as acceptable rather than impressive, and thirty fell below the cut entirely. Rarity, not importance, is the currency: a household spirit nobody has heard of outscores a sky-father every time, because the scoring rewards the answer fewer players will duplicate. When you are choosing between a famous name and a marginal one, the marginal one is worth more even though it feels like a risk.
