Mythology Quiz #1

Here’s a quick Mythology quiz. People you need to identify are denoted by letters in bold. Best of luck.

1. This word X, in the Tibetan language, is translated as “so be it”. X is a minor goddess, wife of Agni. X is also an Old Icelandic or Norse word, meaning “the pause between the lightning and the thunder.”
2. Zeus saw him and fell in love with him instantly, either sending an eagle or turning himself to an eagle to transport X to Mount Olympus, where he made him his beloved, granting him also immortality and the office of cupbearer to the gods. Fair exchange? You decide. Just tell me his name.
3. X’s father, Daedalus, attempted to escape from his exile in the place of Crete, where he and his son were imprisoned at the hands of King Minos, the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, X soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. He  kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. A near parallel to the story exists in Ramayana. The demi-god Jatayu and his brother Sampaati used to compete as to who could fly higher. On one such instance Jatayu flew so high that he was about to get seared by sun’s flames. Sampaati saved his brother by spreading his own wings and thus shielding Jatayu from the hot flames. Interestingly, an asteroid was also named after X becuase of its unusual characteristic of being closer to the Sun than Mercury at perihelion.
4. When Ram is exiled, X drags Kaikeyī’s old nurse, Mantharā, who was responsible for poisoning the queen’s mind against Rāma, and makes an attack to kill her, but he is restrained by Bharat, who feels that Rām would not encourage such an act. Although he plays a relatively minor role in the Rāmāyaṇa, X is important to the main story and goal of the epic.
5. X famously taught both Duryodhana of the Kauravas and Bhima of the Pandavas the art of fighting with a mace. When war broke between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, he was equally affectionate to both parties and so decided to be neutral. Eventually when Bhima (of greater strength) defeated Duryodhana (of greater skill) by dealing a blow below the navel with his mace (a move against the rules of mace combat), X threatened to kill Bhima. This was only prevented when Krishna reminded him of Bhima’s vow to kill Duryodhana by crushing the very thigh he exposed to his wife Draupadi.
6. P (X is getting boring) is an immense ash tree that is central and considered very holy in Norse mythology. The branches of P extend far into the heavens, and the tree is supported by three roots that extend far away into other locations; one to the well Urðarbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well Mímisbrunnr.
7. What follows is Draupadi’s description of her husbands (given to Jayadrath). Match the description to the sons. Pretty easy.
   1. Heroic, intelligent, wise and ever wrathful, there is not another man equal unto him in intelligence or in eloquence amid assemblies of the wise.
   2. Intelligent, “with senses under complete control.” Neither lust nor fear nor anger could make him forsake virtue. Though capable of withstanding any foeman, he would never commit an act of cruelty.
   3. Tall and long-armed. “They that offend him are never suffered to live. He never forgets a foe. On some pretext or other he wreaks his vengeance.”
   4. Possessed a “complexion like that of pure gold, possessed of a prominent nose and large eyes, and endued with a slender make.” He was just, had a correct sense of morality, and was merciful to surrendering foes.
   5. “The most handsome person in the whole world.” An accomplished swordsman, he was also “versed in every question of morality and profit” and “endued with high wisdom.” He was unflinchingly devoted to his brothers, who in turn regarded him as more valuable than their own lives.
8. Y had been given a boon by sage Durvasa, who had said, “Whenever you invoke any demi-God and recite this mantra, the demi-God will be compelled to appear before you and bless you with a son.” Not believing this to be true, as a child, she invoked the Sun God and recited the mantra. To her surprise the Sun God actually appeared. She pleaded with him to return; saying that she was unmarried and not prepared to have a child. But the boon had to be followed.  Thus she gave birth to a boy Z and immediately set him adrift.
9. According to Greek poet Hesiod, F was born when Ouranos was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw his severed genitals into the sea, and from the sea foam rose F.
10. X was asked by his mother Y to appear naked (or, in the state he was in when he was born, [take your pic]) in front of her after coming back from a bath. The plan (unknown to X) was to bless Xs entire body and make him invincible. However, as X walked in his birthday suit to his mother’s cottage, he was intercepted by Krishna who openly mocked him for appearing naked in front of his mother, despite being a fully grown adult. Embarrased, X covered his groin sheepishly with his hands (some versions say he covered it with leaves). Thus, when he received his mother’s blessings, all of his body except his groin became invincible.
11. Connect: Order not important, list not exhaustive.
    • Chithran, Upachithran, Chithraakshan, Chaaruchithran, Saraasanan, Durmadan, Durvigaahan, Vivilsu, Vikatinandan
12. Utterly grief-stricken due to the death of her sons, Gandhaari so cursed J. “You are the cause of death of my sons. You could have prevented this but you did not.  I curse you that you shall die the death of an animal, your clan will perish in an internal strife. The cousins will fight and kill each other.”
    To this J replied, “Mother you have relieved me of a burden. My clan cannot be destroyed by anyone in the world except by themselves. You have solved my problem. As to my death it is so ordained. I accept your curse by way of your blessings.”
13. P was so proud of her daughter’s (Q) beauty that she once boasted that hjer daughter was even more beautiful than the nereids, sea-nymphs, daughters of Poseidon. This obviously did not go down too well with the God of the Sea, who promptly commissioned a Sea-Monster (R) to ravage the coast and destroy the kingdom. The father consulted the oracle of Ammon and learnt that the only way to stop the monster was to sacrifice his daughter (Q) to it. Q is therefore chained to a rock in the middle of the sea with the monster fast approaching her to devour her. Enter cut-scene, Hindi film ishtyle: The handsome S, who’s just finished his mission of killing T is on his way back to grab a beer and relax, when he sees Q, in all her enchanting helplessness, tied to the rock. Love at first sight and the usual blah blah, S kills the monster and saves Q. Cut to the wedding scene.
