🏛️ Greek Mythology

Gods, heroes, monsters and the tales between them.

Domain: Olympians (15) · Titans & primordials (20) · Heroes & mortals (35) · Monsters & creatures (35) · Places & objects (15).

The old gods reward attendance, and this bank takes the register. One hundred and twenty questions across five domains: the Olympians on their thrones, the Titans and primordial powers who came before them, the heroes and mortals who did the suffering, the monsters and creatures who supplied it, and the places and objects — the labyrinth, the golden fleece, the river you cross only once — where the stories happen. Each question describes a figure the way a Greek would have known them, by deed and domain rather than by name: the unseen lord who rules the dead, the queen whose flight to Troy ignited the war, the craftsman who flew too well. You supply the name. The easy third is the dinner-party pantheon; the hard third reaches into the genealogies where Nyx mothers half of misfortune and the difference between Erebus and Tartarus is worth a mark. It pairs naturally with the society's own calendar — the weekly Labours that post above the subjects — and with the literature bank next door, where the same stories arrive wearing hexameter. Mythology is the house subject of an examination society named in Greek; we grade it with particular affection and no mercy. Five questions a round, decoys drawn from the same domain, wrong answers drilled until the genealogy holds.
