Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Leto

Leto was the motherof Artemis and Apollo, two of the twelve Olympian gods. No wonder Hera was so jealous!

2. Which goddess, daughter of Perses and granddaughter of the Titan Crius, was known as the 'Lady of the Night'?

Answer: Hecate

Hecate was the goddess of abundance and eloquence. She was also a reknowned magician...the goddess of magic. She could change into various animal forms, such as dogs and wolves.

3. Who was the lesser known brother of the Titans: Atlas, Prometheus and Epimetheus?

Answer: Menoetius

He was one of the conspirators in a revolt against Zeus and paid for his crime by taking a thunderbolt and a trip to Tartarus. Ouch!

4. Which Titan, the last born, was the progenitor of the most important family of gods in Greek myth?

Answer: Cronus

Cronos was the father of Zeus and his siblings, Zeus being the youngest. King of the Titans, he was overthrown by his beloved (?) children!

5. Arges, Steropes and Brontes were members of which group mentioned below?

Answer: Cyclopes

The Cyclopes were Storm-spirits brought to life by Uranus and Gaea, some of the earliest creatures of Greek myth.

6. Which of the following was not one of the Hecatoncheires, the hundred-handed giants given life by Uranus and Gaea?

Answer: Enyo

Uranus hated the hecatoncheires and kept them locked away in the depths of the Earth, much to Gaea's displeasure. She released them when she needed a hand...ha!

7. What did Cronos do to Uranus at the request of Gaea?

Answer: Castrated him

Gaea was tired of having to procreate with her husband so she had Cronus do her dirty work. An ancient Lorena Bobbitt, to be sure!

8. Which of these was NOT a name for the three goddesses Alecto, Tisiphone and Megara?

Answer: Hesperides

The Furies, also known as the Erinnyes or Eumenides, were dwellers of Hades who tortured the souls of evil human beings. They were born from the blood of Uranus when he was castrated. It's no wonder that something so angry came from such a painful event!

9. Who was the god of sarcasm, the offspring of night?

Answer: Momos

Momos is a really important god, and extremely well-known too. Oh wait, that was just sarcasm...

10. Who was the 'Old Man of the Sea' in this mythology?

Answer: Nereus

In the bottom of the sea dwelt this 'old man' with his wife Doris. Their children were the 50 nereids, nymphs of the sea. This 'Old Man of the Sea' is not to be confused with Hemingway's 'Old Man and the Sea'!
