"Xena: Warrior Princess" Season 5 Trivia Quiz | Television

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what episode is Eve (AKA The Bringer of Twilight) born?

Answer: God Fearing Child

The episode "God Fearing Child" features the birth of Xena's second child. The child is Eve, who will become the messenger of Eli. Gabrielle delivers Eve while Hercules tries to protect Xena and Eve from danger during her birth. She was known as The Bringer of Twilight by the Olympian Gods as The Fates named her that, saying that her birth would bring the end of the Olympian Gods.

2. Who was the one who came up with the name Eve for Xena's child?

Answer: Solan

Solan, Xena's first child, gives this name to Xena when she goes down to Hades to try to help him move to the Elysian Fields. He expresses to her that he is afraid that she will forget him with having a new baby, but she assures him that she will never forget him or love him any less. He eventually accepts this fact and Xena is so touched by this that she uses the name that he gave her.

3. In season five we see the death of a character who has been in many episodes helping Xena and Gabrielle. This death is Joxer's. In what episode is Joxer murdered?

Answer: Eve

'Livia' kills Joxer in the episode "Eve" when she is trying to kill Gabrielle but Joxer steps in trying to save Gabrielle. In the same episode, Livia/Eve has an epiphany and realizes that she is not Livia (daughter of Rome), but is in fact Eve (daughter of Xena).

4. The fifth season marks an important event in history. Xena gets pregnant without the conventional ways. In what episode does Xena find out she is pregnant?

Answer: Animal Attraction

In "Animal Attraction," Xena and her friends travel to a town so Xena can find out what is wrong with her. Xena is shocked beyond all reason to learn she is pregnant because she has not gotten intimate with any man in order to conceive this child. Little did she know, but in the second episode of the fifth season Xena got mystically pregnant by Callisto. Later in her pregnancy, Xena learns that her child's spirit will be Callisto's spirit reborn. Xena is unsure of this as Callisto is Xena's longtime nemesis.

But being in Heaven changed Callisto. When Callisto is ready to be reborn into Xena's womb, she says "I can think of no better mother."

5. We already know that Joxer has one brother who is an assassin. Yet in season 5, we learn that he has another brother as well! What is Joxer's musical brother's name?

Answer: Jace

We meet Jace in the musical episode of "Lyre Lyre Hearts on Fire." He is a performer who loves to sing and dance. Joxer's other brother, Jet, is the assassin. They all look alike, yet Jace is the one to say he is only older than Joxer by a few minutes, suggesting that the musician (Jace), the uncoordinated warrior for good (Joxer), and assassin (Jet) are identical triplets.

6. In the fifth season, we see the death of Eli. Who is the one who murders (or martyrs) Eli?

Answer: Ares

Ares wants to stop the growth of the following of Eli, so he takes matters into his own hands by murdering him. Little does Ares know, but in doing this act, he actually makes Eli a martyr for his cause and it only grows in popularity and strength because of this.

When Xena and Gabrielle wake up after their 25-year sleep, they are surprised to learn that the Followers of Eli are still strong and constantly growing in numbers.

7. After Xena and Gabrielle wake up from their 25-year sleep, they run into Joxer, who is now an old man. We also see that he got married and now has a grown son. Who does Joxer end up marrying and having children with?

Answer: Meg

Joxer marries Xena's harlot look-alike Meg. We first meet Meg in the season 2 episode "Warrior... Princess... Tramp." Joxer and Meg hit it off right away. We even learn in the season 3 episode "Warrior... Priestess... Tramp" that Joxer is a regular at Meg's house of ill repute.

8. Joxer's son becomes important to Xena and Gabrielle almost instantly. He is the warrior that Joxer always longed to be, but he would rather write epic poems. What is Joxer's battling bard son's name?

Answer: Virgil

Virgil, a battling bard like Gabrielle, is the son of Joxer and Meg. After his father is murdered, he becomes close with Xena and Gabrielle and even helps them (and is helped by them) in a few episodes in season 6.

9. Season 5 marks the death of many important characters. This is the first season to mark a death of an Olympian God (not a regular Greek God, but one of the Olympians who were the big ones). Which of the Olympians were the first to die and not by Xena or any mortal's hands?

Answer: Hera

Hercules killed his father, Zeus, in the episode "God Fearing Child" in order to stop Zeus from killing Xena's child, Eve as she was being born. Because The Fates had listed the birth of Eve as the end of the Olympian Gods, Zeus tries to kill the child to save himself and his family.

Not long before Hercules kills his father (and in the same episode) Zeus learns that his wife, Hera, is working with Hercules to try to stop Zeus from killing Xena's child. He then kills her with his powers.

10. In "God Fearing Child," Hercules makes a visit to see the very pregnant Xena. He also comes with a gift for her child. The gift is a stuffed animal of a creature from his past. What creature is this stuffed animal of?

Answer: Hydra

The toy is that of the Hydra that Hercules slew. Hera sent many creatures to try to kill Hercules, but this is the first one we get to see. The Hydra can be seen in the "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" TV movie "Hercules and the Amazon Women."
