Greek Mythology Quiz

Good God! Actually, the Greek gods were often bad—with just as many faults as any human. But the ancient Greeks worshiped them anyway, and developed an elaborate set of myths about them that profoundly influenced later cultures—right up to the present day. So get an ambrosia snack and round up your muses, then see if your Greek IQ is fit for the gods.

TAKE THE TEST

----------------

Pleased to say 8/10 correct.

Peetster · 05-24-2003, 03:54 PM

I got 8/10, but I still contend that I don't know Jack. ;-)

spectre · 05-24-2003, 04:12 PM

The gods should worship you!
Obviously Prometheus helped you out with this Greek mythology quiz. You got 8/10 correct.

Looks like that mythology based English 102 course finally did some good.

Tophat665 · 05-24-2003, 05:18 PM

9 for 10. I figured Zeus was subject to time, not destiny.

Pretty easy quiz.

grumpyolddude · 05-25-2003, 12:15 PM

I remember all those guys. What a bunch of nuts! Except Heracles... I always hated Heracles. So much that I even got his question wrong on purpose (take THAT, you BASTARD!). 9 of 10 for me.

Frowning Budah · 05-25-2003, 02:17 PM

7/10 I thought I had done real well. I bow to your superior knowledge.

qpid · 05-25-2003, 02:34 PM

6/10

they needed some questions about Cupid, now that I know

JadziaDax · 05-25-2003, 03:04 PM

9/10 because I ended up clicking the wrong one... I knew the right answer damn it....

One of my favorite subjects in high school..

Minx · 05-25-2003, 05:20 PM

8 out of 10 and I changed two answers....should have gone with my first instincts and I would have done perfect.
Thanks for the quiz....I love this stuff.

onodrim · 05-25-2003, 06:51 PM

10/10 oh yeah!

I think I love all this mythology and fantasy stuff a little too much though.

/onodrim goes in search of her life...

SecretMethod70 · 05-25-2003, 06:56 PM

10/10 - too easy

and Dionysus was also the god of fertility

7 out of 10, knew that world literature course in college would come in handy one day

seizei · 05-25-2003, 11:41 PM

9/10 here too... also thought zeus was subject to time over destiny

madsenj37 · 05-26-2003, 12:53 AM

8/10. I call shenanigans. I only actually knew maybe 5 of the questions.

phaulb · 05-26-2003, 03:40 AM

7/10. ah well still know jack

Zotz · 05-26-2003, 07:01 AM

8/10

That wasn't too difficult.

However, I don't recall who JACK was in Greek mythology.

bender · 05-26-2003, 07:13 AM

8/10.....time well I may not know Jack but I know his sister Jill

bundy · 05-26-2003, 07:18 AM

10/10

more, more, that was too easy!

vermin · 05-26-2003, 07:19 AM

8/10 - only knew two for sure, the rest were guesses. I was never interested in Greek Mythology, never studied it, still don't care. And who is this Jack person? The greek god of bouncing rubber balls and picking up little metal thingys?

teflonian · 05-26-2003, 09:01 AM

I am happy with my 7/10, as like vermin I only really knew two for sure. Number 9 is a trick question, but one a true follower of Greek Mythology would have gotten... as I did not. I knew Hercules did the 12 labors, but I was unsure of who this Heracles was.

brandon11983 · 05-26-2003, 10:12 AM

Missed the time/destiny question. Makes sense.

I agree ...need more questions..I LOVE greek mythology!!!!!!

Janie · 05-26-2003, 09:37 PM
