bitocreamsaver Mar 31, 2004	I like that one. But what threw me off was Gaea. I was going with the Greek and Roman names, but then Gaea wasn't a god, so I rejected that idea. Ego amo una.
doggyxp Apr 02, 2004	Nice one.

kukuzyavochka Nov 02, 2005	I should have known!
willo Nov 02, 2005	Is Athena Greek or Roman?
christine77 Nov 02, 2005	I assumed it had something to do with the planets, but since i know nothing of mythology I would have never guessed it. Fun teaser though!
kimberlykay Nov 02, 2005	Mythology and Astrology....neither are my forte, but I loved your teaser!
Chicade Nov 02, 2005	That was way to easy i study mythology and astinomy so that was easy LOL
Chicade Nov 02, 2005	Athena is Greek.
realm2346 Nov 02, 2005	Great teaser... i thought of everything else except the Roman names those gods are also reffered to as. Mythology's not something I study often, so your teaser had me searching and searching and searching... after all the searching , I still missed the answer. Wow, it's obvious after you read the answer... the other thing I found in my research ,though, was also that each god mentioned has an unclear origin of birth. It was mind-boggling.
brain_angell Nov 02, 2005	I was close but fofgot about Hades... too fun!
iteachkids Nov 02, 2005	I am almost totally clueless when it comes to mythology, so I flunked miserably. Still, this is a great one for mythology fans!
chrissydaze Nov 02, 2005	Very interesting, Hmmm
(user deleted) Nov 02, 2005	I always thought Hades was a place - not a god?!?
amyu05 Nov 02, 2005	Enjoyed!!! Mythology is my Favorite!!!! Snaps for you
srichardson1066 Nov 02, 2005	Very, very cleverl! I liked it alot!
emmyduckie Nov 02, 2005	Hades was a god, who ruled the underworld. In our times, we've made his the name of the underworld... That was really creative.
wolfy68 Nov 02, 2005	Lovely! Beautiful! Very Smart!
doodledrops Nov 02, 2005	I didnt even come close but it was a great teaser anyway very hard though
nkatha23 Nov 02, 2005	Love mythology! Very smart and guuuud!!!!
mekaboo27 Nov 02, 2005	I got it on the first guess. Yeah me! i GOT IT GOIN ON That was hard but I took a guess snf it was right! this girl is smooth
angelstorme Nov 02, 2005	Ziggy, Hades is like another name for hell...Hades the god RULED hell. Thus, the saying was born into the world. ahaha cheers
wizkid Nov 02, 2005	You would have had to known the history behind mythology. I really didn't get it.
southerngirl13 Nov 02, 2005	whoa! that is sooooo easy. last year i did a project in literature, and i did mine on the god hades. so i'm like "well i think this is hades." and it totally was. oh yeah. i know. you don't have to tell me... I ROCK!!! by the way: hades is the equivilent of the devil to us!! LOL
southerngirl13 Nov 02, 2005	oh by the way, angelstorme, nobody says "cheers" anymore. you sooooo need to get up to date. that groses me out!!!
southerngirl13 Nov 02, 2005	:cr
iteachkids Nov 02, 2005	WHAT?!?!?! I say cheers - and I know of many people who do. So CHEERS, everyone!
POPS Nov 02, 2005	Mythology,YUK Not my strong point
delta3000 Nov 02, 2005	yes this was easy for me. i know greek mithology
paintballa944 Nov 02, 2005	I thought it was between Hades or Athena. (those 2 were the only 2 I thought were greek gods. ) Great job. Keep 'em comin'.
kimberlykay Nov 02, 2005	CHEERS LYNN!!!!
maximo3491 Nov 02, 2005	nice and easy, well for me cause i learned greek gods like crazy in history class but good job, keep em comin
solidgordy Nov 02, 2005	I don't much like mythology, mainly because we were forced to "learn" it in jr high. But, I am a little into astrology. What really always kills me is the Greek and Roman thing, wow, confuuuuusingggg!!!!!! But that was good and hard, cheers to everyone, CHEERS! CHEERS! and like...um.... people soooooooo need to chill...
Brainy_1 Nov 02, 2005	I got this one!! Good teaser
thimblenoggin Nov 03, 2005	Three years of high school Latin finally payed off.
bluehawk Nov 03, 2005	I LIKE. NOTHING BETTER THAN GREEK MYTHOLOGY.
Barticus Nov 03, 2005	As far as being a puzzle, it was fine, but I'm nitpicking your scholarship. Uranus is the Latin name, but if you're talking about him as a Greek God, it should be spelled Ouranos or Uranos. Cronos (with a kappa) is a Titan, Chronos (with a chi) is a God. The Romans didn't rename the Gods. They were existing God legends, which the Romans matched up to similar Greek Gods. And we can argue until the end of Chronos (time) whether Pluto is a planet. But for the purposes of a trivia test, the question works.
formation007 Nov 03, 2005	Not really a brain teaser, but nevertheless some interesting information that i certainly did not know before. For that, nice teaser.
FulanitoGM Nov 03, 2005	Barticus strikes me as the sort of person who plays along with Jeopardy! on TV and gets all the answers right. And I mean, ALL of them. Don't get me wrong, I play along too, but I'll get maybe half the questions right.
Maggirl23 Nov 04, 2005	I studied greek mythology in fifth grade so i knew what you were talking about, but gea and uranus being there messed me up b/c i didn't know what they were gods of.
coolcow35 Jun 07, 2007	We just studied Greek and Roman Mythology in school, particuraly the gods. I got 100% on the quiz, and knew the answer to this teaser! Great teaser!
katamaster Apr 16, 2009	Just a note, Pluto is no longer considered a planet
doehead Apr 16, 2009	Too many years have passed since I studied mythology...
avonma Apr 16, 2009	I don't know much as I should about the planets, and I know even less about Greek Mythology, but I took a guess and chose Hades. I guess my subconscious came through for me.
Jarhead Apr 16, 2009	i got this easy. but i thought the pattern was something else.
bradon182001 Apr 16, 2009	Interesting. I learned something today, I think. Thanks for posting.
auntiesis Apr 16, 2009	I was lost all the way.
akmozart Apr 16, 2009	Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I thought it was something about the planets, but uranus was there already and that threw me off...
UptheHill Apr 16, 2009
DeathWish Apr 17, 2009	I love Greek Mythology!
Provlear Apr 20, 2009	AWESOME idea for a puzzle.
crocodile Aug 06, 2009	Maybe they didn't change Uranus because they had a sesne of humour... Good Job!!!
crocodile Mar 27, 2010	Actually, they renamed Uranus (The god) Caelus.
beyonce123 Jun 02, 2010	SUPER easy!!!!! But maybe that's just because I am addicted to the Percy Jackson books I almost said athena but then I got it right.
twb123 Apr 16, 2012	I didn't even understand the question. But I said Hades after Poseidon lol
science12nerd Apr 16, 2012	Uranus is Ouranos and is a Titan... Gaea is named Terra in Roman mythology... And Kronos is not a god... He's a Titan...
