Link fix.

I got 13 out of 30. I could do better, but it's kinda late in the day.

14/30 It's irritating starting it over I know the majority but there is the odd ones which I can't get right and having to do it 3 times over to get past it is annoying

18/30 I'm really tired. The Avengers kinda helped with the Thor and Loki thing. I hate it how if you miss one you're out :P

Got a bad score because I kept thinking Bacchus was from the Greek mythology. Otherwise, my score was 28/30 when I managed to remember he wasn't.
Prosepina and Ananke aren't ladies I can honestly say I remember from the mythologies, though Prosepina seems to be the counterpart of Persephone (which was why I failed at her), and I might have heard about Ananke, but not in a way that it stuck.

The Avengers kinda helped with the Thor and Loki thing.

That is really sad. Mainly because the Avengers fangirls tend to mix the comics and the real mythology, which makes me sad. They aren't getting it wrong, but they are rather selective about it...
Can't say they took the best of the Norse gods anyway, but still, Thor, Loki, Freyr and Baldur should be easy to recognise (also, the English spelling is annoying!)

Mythology out!

22/30. With both greek and roman deites it turns to a matter of names rathen than knowledge. I knew perfectly who proserpina was, I just didn't remember if it was the greek or roman name.

30/30 on about my tenth try. The Norse gods are pretty easy, they all have the same type of name. I knew almost all of the Greek and Roman gods beforehand, so it was just a matter of trial and error on the ones I didn't know. But I started out on 1/30 because I couldn't remember Ananke. I got to about 10/30 and at that point I was going to get 30/30 no matter what.

Oh yes I also did it with 2:07 to go.

Hats off to anyone who gets it on their first try.

I got 16/30 after a seven tries (that includes a the 4 from a few days ago). I know most of the Roman and Norse gods, but I am completely ignorant when it comes to the Greek gods.

I got 30/30. Roman, Greek and Norse mythologies are somewhat common knowledge, so it wasn't very hard.

Ananke was the trickiest. I was only sure she was Greek because I ruled out the other options. Upon consulting Wikipedia, I remembered she was one of the primordial deities.

And that pretty much accounts for the slight obscurity.

The most sadistic world mythology quiz I could find after searching for five minutes.
