How familiar are you with Greek Mythology?

I love this stuff! I know a ton about it! I am the Queen/King of Greek Mythology!

I am pretty familiar with the basics. I know a some of gods/goddesses, and about the underworld...and some of the myths.

I know a bit from other classes and/or because I like playing video games that are mythology based...

I think I remember the names and powers of maybe a couple gods/goddesses... but I don't know very much.

I am total newbie with this stuff... I know other things, but little or nothing about Greek Mythology.
