About Greek and Norse Mythology Quiz
Thursday is named after Thor and Wednesday after Odin, while the planets carry the names of Roman versions of Greek gods. The Greek and Norse Mythology Quiz brings these stories to life: the gods of Mount Olympus and Asgard, heroes such as Heracles, Perseus and Odysseus, monsters from Medusa to Fenrir, and the words and names that the myths gave to our language. The questions are about the stories themselves, told in a family-friendly way, and gods with overlapping roles are never offered against each other, so the quiz stays fair.
