PERFECTO!!! I'm a mythology nerd, too. At one point in my schooling, I made a chart paralleling the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and Celtic gods. MAN, that was hard, but a ton of fun to do. GREAT quiz!!! I want more!!!

My hobby is astronomy although I'm not as heavy into it as I used to be! This was super fun but easy.

With regard to these quizzes I'm always torn between what constitutes "fun". Should "fun" be commensurate with "easy"-i.e. I got them all correct ... or should "fun" mean "Wow, that made me think and pushed my limits!" I think I'll go with the latter. This was really too easy Soo, No challenge , no fun
In the final analysis I guess it's all personal. Whatever floats your boat. BTW, I'm not an astronomer or a student of mythology.
To those of you for whom this is TMI I apologize

A+ so I voted it one of the best quizzes ever, even though it was very easy for me. If I didn't know the astronomy or astrology involved, I knew Latin and Roman myth, so one way or the other I got them all right. Which was a nice experience for me.

Fun and easy are two completely different things, so don't judge a quiz on how hard or easy it was. Judge it on how much you enjoyed it, and more importantly how much work was put into making it.

I love mythology too, so that was an easy 10/10 for me. BQE. I feel sorry for those poor, unfortunate souls who got F.

It's a good thing I know my mythology, because that and some knowledge of Latin are how I got my answers.

100%! But I empathize with those who goofed up #9, since Hercules seems more of a famous hero to me.
