The ancient gods from long-ago mythologies may be gone but they are far from forgotten. A look at popular media shows that their stories are still alive and well, with Norse gods populating Marvel superhero movies and Greek deities appearing in shows like American Gods. Mythology tells a gripping story about human origins and allows us to feel ourselves among gods, who have flaws just like us. That's why these folklore stories have such an enduring legacy.
In the ancient world, civilizations would borrow from one another to create their pantheon of gods. When the Romans were ascendant, they combined their own myths with those of conquered civilizations, such as the Minoans and Etruscans. But the civilization they took the most from was the Greeks. A casual examination of both mythologies shows that in each pantheon there are exactly 12 gods with the same story and characteristics.
Then when the Roman legionnaires marched into the Germanic lands, they brought their gods and temples. Roman mythology blended with the German gods, giving birth to some similar tropes spun in a new way in Norse mythology. The poets of each culture sang the songs of these gods, which is how their memory preserves today. Now through all the ages, it's time for you to take this quiz to see if you are a master of mythology!
