Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the supreme ruler of the gods who defeated his father Cronus, and whose weapon is the thunderbolt?

Answer: Zeus

Zeus is the ruler of the sky and rain. He is the ruler of Mount Olympus and the youngest son of Cronus and Rhea. Zeus had many affairs as well as a number of wives, but once he fell in love with Hera, she became his permanent wife, who avenged herself his many subsequent affairs by punishing the poor women.

2. What god has a twin sister named Artemis, and is the god of music? He also plays the golden lyre.

Answer: Apollo

Apollo created medicine and is the god of healing. He rides a chariot across the sky every day. He was born on the island of Delphi.

3. Who is the god of the underworld and has a wife named Persephone, whom he abducted?

Answer: Hades

Hades is the god of the underworld who became rich because of gems in the Earth. He lost the draw to Poseidon and Zeus so he was sent to be the ruler of the underworld.

4. Who is the goddess of love who married Hephaestus?

Answer: Aphrodite

Aphrodite is exceptionally pretty and her birds are the swan, sparrows, and the doves. Most myths claim she was formed by the sheer foam of Cronus's reproductive glands that were castrated and thrown into the ocean.

5. Who is the god of the sea and controls all earthquakes? His weapon is the trident and his crown is made of pearls.

Answer: Poseidon

Poseidon also created the first horse to impress Demeter, his wife. He is moody and unpredictable and well known now as the father of Perseus. If you have not already seen "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief", I highly recommend it.

6. Who is the messenger of the gods who invented the pipes, gymnastics, and the lyre?

Answer: Hermes

Hermes is so fast that he has wings on his feet. He has a golden staff carved into intertwined snakes. He charms monsters with his flute and lyre.

7. Who is the god of war whose name starts with an A?

Answer: Ares

Ares's dog is his animal and his bird is the vulture. Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera.

8. Which god is lame as his parents threw him off Mount Olympus breaking both his legs?

Answer: Hephaestus

Hephaestus is the god of fire. He made Pandora with the well-known box. He is also very ugly and before his legs broke he had deformed feet.

9. Who is the goddess of war strategy, and is the daughter of Zeus?

Answer: Athena

Athena was not born but instead came from her father, Zeus's, head. She never married but liked Odysseus very much so she helped him on his journey as much as possible.

10. Who is the twin sister of Apollo, to whom animals are sacred?

Answer: Artemis

The deer is really sacred to her. She opposes marriage and would order men to be torn to pieces if they saw her bathing.
