Store both names as columns on the same row. The URL uses the Greek form (the more common search target for mythology queries), but the Roman counterpart renders prominently on the page and appears in the alt-names array for search visibility. For figures who are essentially Roman (Janus, Mithras), use the Roman name as canonical and add Greek if relevant.

Yes. Make the sources array an array of objects with text, book, line range, and note. List mapping renders them as structured citations. For scholarly sites this turns each figure page into a navigable index of primary attestations, which is itself a search target (Persephone Theogony, Heracles Apollodorus, etc).

Most major figures have variant traditions (Aphrodite's birth, for instance, has two competing accounts in Hesiod and in Homer). Add a variants array per row with each variant's source and a short note. List mapping renders them as a Variants section. The page becomes more useful than a single picked-tradition account.

Yes. Each URL is added to the SleekRank sitemap. The base template is excluded and noindexed. Submit the sitemap in Search Console and new pages get crawled within hours of cache flush. Greek-name and Roman-counterpart queries both rank well because the structured per-page content signals authority.

Yes. Wikimedia Commons holds vast public-domain catalogs of Greek vase paintings, classical sculpture, and Renaissance and Neoclassical reinterpretations. Store image URLs in the sheet and use selector mapping for hero images and og:image per page. Match the period of art to the editorial tone of the site.

Cache duration is configurable per source. For active library development, set fifteen to sixty minutes; for stable references, a day or longer is fine. A manual flush via wp-cli makes urgent corrections appear immediately. The next request after flush rebuilds pages from the updated source.

Yes. Store parent_slugs, consort_slugs, and child_slugs arrays per row. A filter resolves each slug to a name and URL, then renders them as linked cards. Family-tree exploration becomes natural (from Persephone to Demeter to Cronus to Uranus and Gaia) because the relationships read from the same dataset.

No. The base template is a normal WordPress page. Style it however the rest of the site looks. The structured fields (Greek name, Roman counterpart, category, sources) render through your theme's typography and spacing. SleekRank only injects values into matched elements; the visual identity stays in the theme.
