2. I'm Hestia
Which is no surprise to me.

I read "Goddesses in Every Woman" and that's who I identified with in that book.

43. Same here, but some of the answers weren't me at all
I mean, that dream job question. None of them were for me. Sitting at home? Please. Why not being a queen or the president, or a quantom physics person. I wanted to be Athena. She was way cool!

10. Another Athena here....
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 10:20 AM by Bridget Burke
But I cheated. I've been reading up on the Greek myths for many years. Plus myths & legends of other countries.

Here's a short, "multi-cultural" test; I got them all right! www.funtrivia.com/playquiz/quiz136800fab208.html

Personally, I'm a fan of Brigid, Lady Isis & Kali. They're all helpful in different endeavors. And it's not wise to neglect Mamzelle Erzulie.

15. it was a tie
Athena and Hestia.

Some questions I didn't prefer any of the answer choices, but picked the lesser of the evils.

Athena didn't surprise me, but Hestia does. Maybe H. came from some of those icky questions I couldn't really answer truthfully because none of the options fit.

There is opposite gender response in the Gods thread, but I do feel they were too limiting in all questions, both genders.

30. Oh I meant to post in the goddess thread...
I just meant to put it as a response to the OP instead of under your answer.

I agree though. Definitely too limiting in the questions. There were several places my answer would have been "none of the above--something else altogether."

21. Now this is strange. I changed all of my answers except for one...
....and still got Hestia. The odd thing is the one answer I cannot change, "Yes. One partner and one alone." makes no sense with respect to Hestia.

Hmmm.....

BINGO!! Aphrodite!! As a guy, I'm Zeus, which makes sense, because in my personal mythology, I find a power/love combination most appealing.

Of course, I had to be creative with a couple questions, what with being a man and all :)

On edit: I took the Greek God quiz on this site, and it turns out I'm Apollo -- of course, that's only because they didn't include Bacchus :evilgrin:

Prostitutes though? Why does being connected with your sensuality have to equate with prostitution? Maybe it's some historical context, Probably is, but well, I suppose it strikes me weird. :shrug:

The Virgin Goddess of the Hunt is also the Protectress of Maidens. She is very beautiful but can be very cold. She prefers ruinning through the forest to just about anything else. She's way cool, too.

So I'll have to take your word for it. I do sometimes get angry at fundie insults to be sure, mostly because they are so based in bullsh*t, and I hate the idea that they are spreading these lies to people who may believe them. (The garbage they spew about gays, for example)
