How Much Do You Know About Greek Mythology?

Explanation
The given answer is "Medusa" or "medusa". Medusa is a character from Greek mythology who was a Gorgon with snakes for hair. She was killed by Perseus, who chopped off her head while she was sleeping. The explanation fits the description given in the question, where the narrator mentions being a terrible Gorgon who was slain by Perseus due to their hair made of snakes.

Explanation
The given answer "Icarus, icarus" is correct because the passage mentions a character who didn't listen to their father, Daedalus, and ended up flying too close to the sun. This character is identified as "Icarus" in Greek mythology, who flew with wings made of wax and feathers. The repetition of the name "Icarus" in both capitalized and lowercase letters indicates that it refers to the same person.

Explanation
In this passage, the narrator mentions being asked by Hera to help Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. The narrator also mentions their husband Hephaestus being dismayed by this request. Additionally, the narrator mentions that Jason was attractive and refers to themselves as the goddess of love. All of these clues point to the answer being Aphrodite, as she is the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

Explanation
The correct answer is Sisyphus. The passage mentions being condemned in Tartarus to roll a boulder uphill and continually watch it roll down. This is a reference to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who was punished by the gods to perform this task for eternity. The mention of being a small-time criminal and doubting that many people know who the speaker is further supports the identification of the answer as Sisyphus.

Explanation
The explanation for the correct answer "orion, Orion" is that the passage describes a situation where the narrator, who is not explicitly named, was shot at by Artemis because Apollo tricked her into thinking it was a competition. The name "Orion" is mentioned in the passage as the person who was shot at, hence it is the correct answer. The repetition of "orion, Orion" in the answer options suggests that either capitalization or spelling does not matter in this case.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Echo, echo." The explanation is that Echo was a nymph in Greek mythology who was cursed by Hera to only be able to repeat the words of others.

Demeter is known as the goddess of agriculture and is Zeus' sister. When her daughter Persephone was taken by Hades to the underworld, Demeter's grief caused the earth to enter a state of perpetual winter until Persephone was returned.
