Here is a quick quiz based on Greek and Roman mythology. The Romans were a lazy lot in some respects, and they were quite happy to absorb the religion of ancient Greece rather than be too ambitious in developing their own. However, they tended to change the names of the Greek deities – a desperate attempt to avoid copyright infringement maybe ? (that’s a joke, by the way, just in case … never mind)
Each question is the name of a Greek god, goddess or hero/heroine. Which alternative answer is the Roman equivalent?

7 out of 10. And I got the toad correct. ? Great quiz! ?
wow the quiz is good but whre is god?
This is a quiz about pagan mythology – no more, no less.
Perfect score, guess I can still do my Greek/Roman conversions
Well done!
I used to have trouble with the Roman names, especially the whole Jupiter/Jove bit. Why does he need two names and when should you use the one instead of the other?
Jove is often used for the Christian/Jewish God, being a version of Jahweh. Is that where the confusion arises?
Ah, then short for Jehovah? Yes, you cleared it right up my good man!
Nice quiz, got 6/10!
Again, what can I say. Great quiz and please post some more.
Thanks. I will see what I can do.
got 9 out of 10 right!
Well spotted!

Super quiz! I got 6/10 and I was certain Ares’ Roman equivalent was Snickus! 😀
