    This document contains 20 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of figures and stories from Greek, Roman, Norse and other mythologies. It covers topics like the protector of Crete (Talos), the punishment of Sysiphus for his craftiness (rolling a boulder up a hill for eternity), Zeus's control of lightning, gods like Loki in Norse mythology, and mythical creatures like harpies and the serpent Nidhogg. Many questions revisit the same myths to test understanding, like Zeus originally being known as Jupiter to the Romans and Apollo originating from both Greek and Roman mythology.
