You Can’t Tell The Demi-gods Without A Program

Ian links to an on-line quiz on Greek Mythology on which he scored 6 out of 10. Yours truly got 10 out of 10, which I attribute to several causes.

First, as a youth I steeped myself in the myths of Ancient Greece (really, I did. I can picture the covers of the books I had even now). I haven’t paid much attention to them in the last 25 years or so, but some things you never forget.

Second, it was a multiple choice quiz. Even if I didn’t know the answer to a particular question, some answers just seemed more mythological than others. There’s one about how a chariot race was won by a clever ruse, and one of the four just seemed a little more worthy of being remembered than the others.

Third, Ian seems to have (inadvertantly, I’m sure) saved the URL of the quiz in such a way that it preserved his answers. You might want to fix that, Ian…..

  2. I hate spam–once again, I deleted a real comment while clearing out the spam. Ian had responded:

    Whoops!

    I shall correct.

    Though I should note that I already copped to the ones I blew. I swear I thought the Orpheus thing was just too close to Lot’s wife from the Bible…

    Exactly, you’d copped to the ones you’d missed. Once I figured out that I was seeing your answers, getting 10 out of 10 wasn’t too tough.
