Answer: Hera

Zeus and Hera married after he saved her and their other siblings (Hestia, Demeter, Hades and Poseidon) from the stomach of their father Cronus.

2. The Trojan prince Paris fell for which gorgeous mortal woman?

Answer: Helen

Paris was asked by Hera, Athena and Aphrodite to choose the most beautiful of them. He chose Aphrodite and in return she gave him Helen as a lover. Their elopement sparked the Trojan War.

3. Ares, the God of War, has an affair with which married Goddess?

Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus, God of fire and the forge, but she doesn't love him, so she is conducting an affair with the God of War.

4. Prior to the Trojan War, the Trojan princess Andromache is married to which handsome and brave prince?

Answer: Hector

Hector and Andromache, unlike many of the couples in Greek Mythology, genuinely love each other and even have a son named Astyanax. Hector and Astyanax die in the Trojan War, and Andromache suffers in slavery -- but in some sources, she eventually finds happiness again with Helenus.

5. Apollo, God of Music, fell for which young Trojan princess who cruelly rejected him?

Answer: Cassandra

Apollo fell in love with Cassandra and promised to give her the gift of prophecy if she made love to him. She agreed and, after he had bestowed upon her the gift of prophecy, she decided she wanted to remain a virgin and rejected him. He became angry and cursed her so that she would foretell tragedies but no-one would ever believe her.

6. Psyche, the mortal woman turned Goddess of the Soul, fell for which God?

Answer: Eros

Psyche was hated by Aphrodite because she was very beautiful, and so Aphrodite sent her son Eros, the God of love, to make her fall in love with the ugliest creature on earth. However, Eros fell in love with her instead. After a brief separation they were married and had a daughter named Voluptas.

7. Zeus had an affair with which mortal princess to produce the beautiful Helen of Troy?

Answer: Leda

Zeus took the form of a swan and fell into her arms to be protected from an eagle. They then consummated this brief encounter and this resulted in Helen and her siblings.

Answer: Zeus

Maia was the oldest and most beautiful daughter of Atlas, and she lay with Zeus in a cave in the dead of night.

9. Hades, the God of the Underworld, kidnapped the daughter of Demeter and made her his consort. Who is this girl?

Answer: Persephone

Persephone was picking flowers with nymphs in a meadow and was lured into the Underworld by Hades. She was then tricked into (or depending on the story, chose of her own free will) eating three seeds of a pomegranate, so she would forever have to spend part of the year with him.

10. Andromeda, a princess who was chained naked to a rock as punishment for her mother's boasting, was saved by which hero who had killed Medusa?

Answer: Perseus

Queen Cassiopeia claimed she was more beautiful than the Nereids and, as punishment, her daughter Andromeda was chained to a rock naked to be consumed by the monster Cetus. She was rescued by Perseus, who claimed her in marriage.
