Okay, score corrected, you missed Riddles 2-4. Very noble of you to admit that you will lose a point for it. 
EDIT - Looking through the HCM, I forgot about anti. Ooops, well he recieves two points.

@Sith: Your "dialect" got the better out of me. Before getting to answer, I had to decipher the question. And only the Pandora one was in English.

7 - Woman through me can rip men limb from limb.
8 - If you need to study for a test, I would be the best person to pray to.

The hints require a little abstract thinking. That's the challenge of it all.

TIME! This round is over....
Answers
1 - I invented the Lyre.
Hermes, the messenger god, invented this instrument.
2 - If you live in Delphi, chances are you've heard from me.
The home of the Delphic Oracle, seer of Apollo, the correct answer.
3 - If Menelaus prayed, he'd pray to me.
Menelaus, king of Sparta, would pray to Ares, god of Sparta.
4 - I'm the greek version of the Sandman.
The sandman, who puts people to sleep, would be Hypnos
5 - Now you see me, now you don't under my nifty helmet.
The Helm of Invisibility belonged to Hades
6 - One of the three children who isn't named after a moon.
Phobos and Deimos are moons of Mars (Ares), so I was looking for Enyo
7 - Woman through me can rip men limb from limb.
Ravenous maenads, worshippers of Dionysus
8 - If you need to study for a test, I would be the best person to pray to.
For better memory, you'd pray to Mnemosyne
9 - If Greece had witches, I'd be their god.
Often called the Queen of Hags, Hecate is the goddess of witchcraft
10 - If you lived in northern Greece, my wind would delight your mills.
The Northwinds, controlled by Boreas of the Anemoi
Mamga scored 4 out of six, Lith-Meathor 7, and Lexxie 6.
Tomorrow starts round three!
