Question 1 of 10
1. Ok, I'd like to get something off my chest. I love the ladies! I've had quite a number of high-profile affairs, and my wife Juno is always furious! But I just can't seem to help myself. It's hard being supreme ruler of the gods; I just need to let off a little steam sometimes.

So, who am I?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Hello! You must be wondering who I am. Well, you'll just have to guess. I like long walks on the battlefield (I am the goddess of war, after all), owls, and the arts. Unlike my brother Mars, who embodies the violent, bloody aspect of war, I myself embody the intellectual aspect of war. Another interesting fact about myself: I was born from my father's forehead!

So, who am I?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Oh, hello! I didn't hear you come in! I was busy playing my lyre. I am the inventor of music, after all! Well, I really can't talk long, the Muses and I have choir practice tonight! What's that you say? I look sad? Well, you'd be sad if you were me! Some strange tragedy seems to befall everyone I fall in love with! I'm a jinx! Coronis, and Hyacinth both died, and Cyparissus and Daphne both turned into trees! Oh, well, maybe I'll find someone someday! Well, gotta go! The Muses are waiting!

So, who am I?

Answer: (One word, think "space travel")
Question 4 of 10
4. Sorry I'm late, I just got back home from a long day of hunting! Isn't the moon beautiful tonight? I can really appreciate it, because I am the Moon goddess! I look troubled, you say? Well I did have to banish my friend Callisto today, because she had been a "naughty girl", and I require all the women in my retinue to be chaste!

So, who am I?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. What? Who let you in? Are you asking for a fight? I doubt you'd win, because I'm the violent, bloodthirsty god of war! What's that you say, Venus sent you? Well, you must be okay then if my darling Venus knows you! Anything else you wanna know? Well, I do love the battlefield! Just hearing a war cry gets me excited! But, I admit it, I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. My sister is the real brain in the family.

So, who am I?

Answer: (Four letters--think "red planet")
Question 6 of 10
6. Oh, hello! Welcome to my forge. I'm the blacksmith of the gods. Sorry if it's hot in here, but I am the god of fire! Sorry if I seem grumpy, but I'm lame, and I recently found out my beautiful wife is having an affair with my brother. Well, I really do need to get back to my work. Those swords aren't gonna make themselves!

So, who am I?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Hello, friend! I'll be with you in just a minute. I need to take off my sandals and secure them, because if I don't, they might just "fly" away! Whew! It's been a long day, delivering messages to the gods! I also have to escort the souls of the dead to the netherworld, and that job is not very easy, either. Oops, gotta go - Venus needs to send a message to Cupid, so I'm off again! Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Hello, darling! Could you hand me that brush over there? Thanks! I know I might seem vain, but I am the goddess of beauty and love! Be careful around my son's arrows, they can be deadly! I have first-hand experience with that naughty boy's arrows! They caused me much grief, what with my sweetie Adonis's death and all. Well, you really must be going, I hear Mars at the door!

So, who am I?

Answer: (One Word--five letters--think "Evening Star")
Question 9 of 10
9. Hello, come in! Sit by my hearth for a while! You say you'd like to know a few things about me? Well, I am the goddess of the hearth, family life, and the state. That's why you always see the mortal officials making sacrifices to me. There is a sacred fire that always burns at my shrine, and if it ever goes out, there is sure to be bad luck in the near future! That's why I have a retinue of guardian priestesses to continually watch over the fire.

So, who am I?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Why hello there! I'm Urania, and my eight other sisters decided to make me the spokeswoman for us! Well, each of us has our own specific hobby or interest. Mine is astronomy, Thalia's is comedy and idyllic poetry, Melpomene's is tragedy, Erato's is love poetry, Terpsichore's is dancing, Euterpe's is lyrical music, Polyhymnia's is heroic hymns, Clio's is history, and Calliope's is epic poetry. So, now that you know us all, can you guess our identities?

Who are we?
Hint

Answer: Mars

Yup, I'm Mars, the violent, bloodythirst war god. I am addicted to the battlefield, and I can be aggressive at times. You'll almost always find me dressed in my battle gear. Just as I'm the rough-and-tumble side of war, my sister Minerva is the wise prudent counsel during war. I'm also in love with the most beautiful woman, Venus!

Oops, gotta go - Venus needs to send a message to Cupid, so I'm off again!

So, who am I?

Answer: Venus

Yes, darling, I'm Venus, the goddess of beauty and love! My husband is Vulcan, the god of fire, but I'm secretly carrying on an affair with my darling Mars! I also have a wonderful son named Cupid. You're probably familiar with him, as I hear he plays a big part in the mortal holiday of St. Valentine's Day.

Some of my other attributes are: doves, myrtle, roses, apples, and anything else feminine or girly!
9. Hello, come in! Sit by my hearth for a while! You say you'd like to know a few things about me? Well, I am the goddess of the hearth, family life, and the state.

Indeed, my name is Vesta! I am the goddess of the hearth, family life and the state. My retinue of priestesses who guard my fire are called "Vestals". Two of the more famous Vestals are Tuccia and Claudia Quinta, who both proved their chastity (my priestesses are required to be chaste--if they break this vow they will be buried alive!) by performing miracles.
