That doesn`t sound too good @gmarkj

I tried to find a mix of subjects and level of questions in this quiz so thought some might find some questions easier than others.

I can guarantee at least one correct answer 😂. There are a couple that if I get the pen and paper out... answers sent over in a bit, @Mi-Amigo!

@Spenny, I was actually considering picking up Mythos by Stephen Fry before. I know he has a number of Greek mythology books out. Do you recommend it/them?
