Lets play a Trivia Game (Yes, I'm bored)

The person who answers correctly gets to ask the next question...

Here goes...

This Greek diety rose to power after castrating his father Uranus. He married his sister Rhea, and, with her, gave birth to the Olympian gods. Who was he?

Jupiter, fizool!

What cursed soul, who once met Prometheus, was the ancestor of Heracles/Hercules?

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Zeus was one of the children of Cronos and Rhea. Zeus killed his father and married his sister, Hera. ;P

Who was forced to marry Hades?

Why was Prometheus tortured every day, and how?

What was Hercules first task? Who was the king he performed it for and why did he have to?

3. I dont remember, but he had to because he killed his first wife...

1) Persephone
2) Cause he gave fire to man and he was tormented each day by a giant eagle that would rend his flesh and eat his liver, then his wounds would heal for the next days torment.
3) King Eurystheus commanded Hercules to slay the Nemean Lion. :P

Promethieus was tortured for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to man. he is chained to a rock and birds (ravens? Can't remember their names) eat his liver.

Hades's wife was... umm... oh, blanking! But she ate 6 seeds a of pomegranite while in Hell and has to stay there for 6 months of the year, one for each seed. She's the duaghter of the goddess of hearth and childbirth. Forgot her name, too...

Persephone... She was the daughter of the goddess of the harvest (and growth), Demeter/Ceres.

As a white cow, I think it was Io, (I think, I know he seduced one woman as a cow, and turned another women into a cow, one was Europa, the other was Io, and I get them mixed up).

As for the Swan... Lita, I think.

I think her name was Leda, actually. I'll have to check my sources.

And Europa was the one that he seduced as a cow. She got on the cow and he took off with her.
