Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What famous creature from classical mythology has the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human?

Answer: Centaur

In classical myth, centaurs are often considered as powerful, untamed creatures. In one myth, for instance, Caeneus, a Lapith hero invulnerable to traditional weapons, was beaten into the ground by centaurs using tree branches and rocks.

2. In Islamic poetry, a large, harmless-looking yellow rabbit lives in the Indian Ocean on Jezirat al-Tennyn, a mysterious island. What is its name?

Answer: Al-mi'raj

Although Al-mi'raj appears harmless, it has a single spiraling horn, two-feet long. It can kill animals and humans many times its size. With its immense appetite, it can eat victims much larger than itself with no effort.

3. In a myth from Venezuela, a vengeful spirit of a woman appears to men who have, or are willing to have, affairs outside their marriage. By what name is it known?

Answer: La Sayona

According to legend, La Sayona was a woman named Melissa who discovered her husband was having an affair with her mother. As she killed them, her mother told her that she would have to avenge all women who were unfaithful to their husbands.

4. In Albanian folklore, there is a vampire witch that sucks the blood out of infants while they sleep at night.

Answer: True

The creature is called Shtriga, often depicted as a woman with a disfigured face and a hateful stare. She usually turns into a flying insect (often a bee, fly, or moth) after she has satiated her thirst.

5. According to many Japanese tales, there is a spider that can change its shape into a very seductive woman. What is its name?

Answer: Jorogumo

Jorogumo is the subject of many Japanese legends, all of which involve a spider changing into a woman, and in one way or another, seducing a man into a shack or lair. There she binds him with silk threads and, eventually, devours him.

6. In Navajo belief, what is a ghost called that is left behind after someone dies?

Answer: Chindi

A Chindi is, supposedly, everything that was bad about an individual, that was left behind. Chindi are believed to be able to cause illness and death if they can make contact with living people.

7. What is the name of a many-headed classical beast that grew two heads for every one cut off?

Answer: Lernaean Hydra

The Hydra also had poisonous breath and blood. As his second labor, Hercules was able to slay the Hydra with the help of his nephew Iolaus, who scorched the necks as Hercules chopped off each head, preventing them from growing back.

8. The Manticore is a Persian mythical creature similar to the Egyptian Sphinx.

Answer: True

The Manticore has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of teeth, a trumpet-like call, and, in some versions, bat-like wings. It gobbles its prey whole, leaving nothing (bones, clothes, etc.) behind.

9. In Scottish mythology, there is a ghost who usually appears as either a beautiful woman or an ugly hag. What is its name?

Answer: Glaistig

In its human shape, it is sometimes known as "The green lady or maiden." In its ugly appearance, it often appears as a half-woman and half goat. Most tales have the Glaistig luring men to her lair, where she devours them.

10. What is the name of a legendary beast, usually white with one large spiral horn projecting from its forehead, that appears in many different mythologies?

Answer: Unicorn

The unicorn dates back to classical accounts of natural history because the writers believed that the beasts were real. In European folklore, the unicorn was a symbol of innocence and purity that could only be captured by a virgin.
