Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Athena and *this god* both wanted to be the patron of Athens. *This god* offered a spring and Athena offered an olive tree to the city. The Athenians chose to take the olive tree and accept Athena as their patron. Who is *this god*?

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.
2. Semele was *this god*'s mother. Semele, who was tricked by Hera, asked Zeus to reveal his Shining Glory which burned her to death. Later, *this god* retrieved his mother (Semele) from the Underworld and Zeus made Semele immortal. Who is *this god*?

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.
4. Orpheus entered *this god*'s realm and played such sweet music that *this god* granted him a wish. Orpheus' wish was the permission to rescue his wife from *this god*'s realm. Who is *this god*?

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.
6. Because he wanted to protect Artemis' maidenhood, *this god* tricked Artemis into shooting down her lover Orion. *This god* posed an arrow shooting contest and challenged Artemis to shoot as accurately and as far as she could. She had not even known that she had shot her lover until they retrieved the dead body. Who was *this god*?

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.
7. *This god* was the son of Maia and was born in a cave in Arcadia. *This god* stole Apollo's cattle and drove the herd backwards to hide his tracks. *This god* also invented the lyre and later gave it to Apollo in return for amnesty for stealing the cattle. Who is *this god*?

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.
8. *This god* was married to Aphrodite and was the one who made her magical girdle. Zeus threw *this god* off Mt. Olympus after *this god* released Hera from her upside-down position hanging from a gold chain. Who is *this god*?

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.
9. *This god* was raised by a goat (named Amalthea) in refuge from his father who wanted to swallow him. *This god* eventually overthrew his father. *This god* caused a lot of trouble from his affairs. i.e. He caused Callisto to be changed to a bear as Artemis was enraged she lost her virginity. Who is *this god*?

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.
10. *This mortal* was credited to ridding Arcadia of the Stymphalian Birds, capturing the Cerynian Hind, cleaning the Augean Stables, and many other near-impossible tasks as he finished his assignments for Eurystheus. Who is *this mortal*?
