Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Poseidon

Poseidon- God of the Sea gave saltwater to the Athenians! I would have chosen Athena too! An olive tree can provide olives for food, wood for fire, and tree for shade. By the way, welcome to the quiz.

Answer: Dionysus

Dionysus was the God of Wine. He also demonstrates the quality of wine, sometimes sweet and joyful, sometimes harsh with anger.

3. Aphrodite was jealous of the beauty of a mortal named Psyche and so asked *this god* to make Psyche fall in love with someone ugly. Who is *this god*?

Answer: Eros

Eros then fell in love with Psyche and after trials, they became happily-ever-after lovers. Eros, more popularly known as Cupid (Roman), always carries love arrows to shoot people with. Being extremely tricky and mischievous, you can imagine what kind of damage this will bring. Obviously- he is the God of Love.

Answer: Hades

Orpheus was, in the end, unable to save his wife Eurydice from Hades realm. Hades, God of the Underworld, is often mistaken as evil and dark but that is a misconception. He really was quite passive.

5. *This Titan* was chained to Mount Caucasus and was condemned to have his liver eaten by an eagle daily by Zeus. This was because *this Titan* gave the humans fire. Who is *this Titan*?

Answer: Prometheus

Many hundred years passed before Prometheus was saved by Heracles. Out of clay, Prometheus made man. However by the time he had perfected his creation, his brother Epimetheus had already given all the good "gifts" (like speed) to the animals. So Prometheus resolved to steal the possession of the gods: fire.

Answer: Apollo

Some versions say that Apollo sent a scorpion to kill Orion instead. Apollo was the God of Music, Light, Poetry, Medicine, Truth, Archery, Prophesy, etc. He really was praised in many areas although I can conclude that they mostly fall under the Arts.

Answer: Hermes

I hope you got that one. A good strategy would have been process of elimination. Zephyrus (one of the choices) is the West Wind by the way.

Answer: Hephaestus

Hephaestus became permanently crippled after he fell onto the island of Lemnos. Aphrodite was only married to Hephaestus because Zeus commanded her. No doubt her first choice would have been Ares. Hephaestus, God of Smiths and Fire, was not very attractive. However, he was dedicated, strong, and talented at his work.

Answer: Zeus

This King of the Gods could not get in more trouble than he has. He has caused people to turn into cows, water, tortoises, stones, and an infinite more.

Answer: Not Listed Here

Did you recognize some of the Twelve Labours of Herakles?
