Almost perfect! Ladon aficionados everywhere are impressed right now.
Why is my psychology -1? What is wrong with me? Why, Ladon, why?! I am doomed to forever seek out perfection, but to fall short by a -1 suck modifier?? Woe!

Not too shabby. It’s been a few years since I’ve brushed up on my Greek Mythology. I suggest Barry Powell’s Mythology (not Edith Hamiliton’s - blah!).
Japanese Mythology has been more entertaining as of recent - can’t beat little bowl-headed turtles that fly on cucumbers. And Hawaiian Mythology is more out there.
Fun quiz - thanks!

Not bad for never even seeing the book and it having been a couple of decades for studing Greek Mythology.

Man, Ladon is such a baller…you’d thin Hera would’ve had him keep his eyes on Zeus all the time rather than a tree with shiny apples…

@Reverend Mike: Well, Ladon’s not such a baller because Heracles pwned him. But she definitely should have kept an eye on Zeus. Here’s a quote from God Checker:
“HERA: Mrs ZEUS. Supreme Greek Goddess and the Queen of Olympus.
She’s also a Goddess of Marriage and Birth, which is somewhat ironic considering that her notoriously unfaithful husband ZEUS produced an incredible number of illicit offspring with an entire pantheon of lovely ladies.”
