Ten questions a round
Who’s who in the eight pantheons
Every question is generated from a verified fact on a figure's own page — what they govern, how they are shown in art, whose child they are, and which surviving work actually names them.
Greek mythology — question 1 of 10

Which of these does Achilles govern?
Where the questions come from
There is no question file on this site. The 160 questions in the bank above are assembled during the build from the structured data attached to each entity row — the same fields the family trees and the pantheon matcher are drawn from, and the same fields the written pages were checked against. If a page is corrected, the question built from it changes with it, which is not true of any quiz typed out by hand.
Four kinds of question come out of that data. What a figure governs, taken from the domains listed on their page. What identifies them in ancient art, taken from the attributes an artist would actually have painted or carved. Whose child they are, in the version the page treats as primary. And which surviving work names them, which is really a question about whether you know that Enkidu belongs to a Babylonian epic and not to a Greek one.
Why the wrong answers are never nearly right
A quiz is worthless if two of its options are both true. Every distractor is checked against the subject’s complete entry before it is offered: a question about Zeus can never put “thunder” and “the sky” on the same screen with one of them marked wrong, because both are on his page. The wrong answers are real domains, real attributes and real parentages — they simply belong to somebody else.
Where a wrong answer takes you
Each question, right or wrong, ends with a link to the page that settles it, where the claim is set out with the work it comes from and the versions that contradict it. That is the point of the exercise: the score is a way of finding out which four pages are worth half an hour, not a result worth keeping. Scores are held in your own browser and are never sent anywhere.
What it will not ask you
Nothing that only exists in a film, a comic or a game. Those versions are covered on the pages — in their own clearly separated section, because readers arrive looking for them — but a quiz that rewards knowing the Marvel Hel is not the Norse Hel would be testing the wrong thing. It also avoids the questions the sources genuinely cannot settle. Tyr has two different fathers depending on which poem you read; Aphrodite has two incompatible births; Ganesha loses his head in at least four irreconcilable ways. Those disagreements are the most interesting thing on their pages and the worst possible multiple-choice questions.
Carry on from here
If a tradition is unfamiliar, its hub page is the orientation, its family tree is the shape of the pantheon, and the pantheon matcher lines its gods up against the seven others by what they govern. The myths retold in full are where the names above turn back into stories.
