Gods, Heroes & Monsters
Ten questions across the world's great story traditions, each with the thread connecting it to something you already knew.
About this topic
Mythology is the source material for an enormous share of modern storytelling, and most of us absorbed fragments of it without ever learning the shape. This quiz covers the principal figures of the Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Hindu and Japanese traditions, along with the creatures that escaped into general folklore. The questions stay with the widely known figures rather than the obscure corners. The explanations flag where each name still survives, in a planet, a weekday or an English word.
