Mythology quizzes

Gods, heroes and legends of the world

Zeus and the Olympian gods, Theseus facing the Minotaur, Odin and Thor among the Vikings, Isis, Osiris and Anubis along the Nile: mythology gathers stories that shaped literature, art and even everyday language (an odyssey, an Achilles' heel, Pandora's box). This theme moves through Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian myths, with their heroes, monsters and great epics such as the Iliad and the Odyssey.

You can test what you know about divine family trees, the twelve labours of Heracles, the links between Greek and Roman gods, or the symbols tied to each deity. Every mythology quiz is free, with five difficulty levels from very easy to expert, and a short explanation after each answer so the details stay with you.

Frequently asked questions about Mythology

Who is Odin in Norse mythology?

Odin is the chief of the Aesir gods, linked with wisdom, war, poetry and magic. He gave up an eye to drink from Mimir's well and gain knowledge. He is accompanied by the ravens Huginn and Muninn and the eight-legged horse Sleipnir, and he welcomes part of the warriors slain in battle to Valhalla.

Who was the Minotaur and how did Theseus defeat it?

The Minotaur, half man and half bull, was kept in the Labyrinth that Daedalus built for King Minos of Crete. The Athenian hero Theseus killed it with the help of Ariadne, who gave him a thread so he could find his way back out of the maze.

Which Egyptian god guides the dead and oversees mummification?

Anubis, shown with the head of a jackal, is the god of embalming and the protector of the dead in the afterlife. Osiris rules the realm of the dead: at the judgment, the heart of the deceased is weighed against the feather of Ma'at, goddess of truth and order.
