Perhaps that is a sufficient ingame clue, yes. However, as pointed out above, the German riddle explicitly wants Roman goddesses of revenge so I have my doubts (because the Erinyes are the Greek ones).

Perhaps that is a sufficient ingame clue, yes. However, as pointed out above, the German riddle explicitly wants Roman goddesses of revenge so I have my doubts (because the Erinyes are the Greek ones).
most of my initial answers were spot on, only got 7 & 8 flat out wrong.
which brings me to:
3. Fourth Minor Bear - presuming the fourth star of Ursae Minoris - Epsilon Ursae Minoris
9. the mother of the mother of - Hemera - yes, Gaia had a mother.
19. women of vengeance - i too though Erinyes, but someone else suggested this and when reviewed by Drew, he did not confirm it, though this person wasn't firm in claiming it. Someone else guessed Erinni, Erynes, Furies in their list, and Drew said some were half marks, but he is only giving credit for correct unambiguous answers. In greek mythology the Erinyes, sometimes spelled Erinys, were the female personification of vengeance. I will stick with my answer of Erinyes(also spelled Erinys - either spelling refers to the same trio).

What about direa?
Roman name for furies
Sorry, not in game at the moment.
Ultio.. Roman Poena

Seriously, with all the religious inbred going on back then, I don't know if there is much of a difference...
Tried it already (see above)...
Not that I can find. No systems, not sure about celestial bodies, starports, planetary outposts or megaships. I'm not in-game right now though so I'm limited to ed starmap and eddb.

Why bother to specify it in the first place, then? Still, who knows...
Moirai is a system ingame according to EDDB
Wait... My suggestions are not right?
I believe that at least Cynosura is suitable for this reason:
And also, why Caligo:
But I also believe that Gaia is suitable for the role of mother.

Sorry, you might be right and roman could be important of course.
As discussed above, if (and only if) the German Galnet version of the riddle is to be trusted, then the German clues to both 3 and 9 do not fit your answers.

I did cut and paste it in game to check, but galaxy map is a bit broken currently... Can someone else check...
Now off line so can't check myself.
Although Midas is a well known miser and I think it was Plato who popped out a moral tale about an unnamed miser, so there at least a couple of Greek connections and more than a few others that could stretch to the description.
when I searched for misers sum i found happiness so a poor misers sum would most likely be the opposite? anger or hatred? or Ogre means anger in ancient greek i think and Fibonacci’s Zephyrum(zero) would be the center of a spiral Sagittarius A or zero in italian meant west wind which would point to ZEPHYROS or zephyrus

Well Fates is a system as is Parcae which is Fates of Roman mythology
It is a findable system in the Galaxy Map.
Confirmed. There's a system called Moirai in-game.
19. Nemesis
