Geocache Description:

This is a relatively easy puzzle.  You won't need any elaborate cyphers or code cracking software.  If that's your thing, try our other puzzle, "Master the Sky" (GC4041R).  However, since this Is the Age of the Internet you will need to use some simple reasoning and online research to solve the puzzle.  And of course the coordinates listed above will just get you in the ballpark for parking.

If you look up the pantheons of the gods as observed by ancient Greeks, Romans, Druids, and the like, you will find hundreds of names.  It's enough to make your head Spin!  We've chosen to honor a few of those deities in this puzzle.  The Primary objective is to determine what they have in common, and then discover their relative Rank amongst their peers.  As an added bonus we've tossed in a 'checksum' for the Latitude and the Longitude numbers.  If it doesn't total, then you probably missed a step in the puzzle. 

So here are the deities of interest:
Latitudinal gods:        Amalthea,   Titania,      Euceladus,    Proteus, and Tethys   [checksum = 21]
Longitudinal gods:     Deimos,      Himalia,     Larissa,         Ariel,       and Dione    [checksum = 20]

If you think you have the solution, click on the Geocheck logo below and test your coordinates before heading to the field for the cache.
