Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

pm winging its way over to you. Hope my valentines day is not as complicated as that quiz. 🤔

Norse mythology.  I read a book on Norse mythology after the one on Greek mythology.  Obviously the Norse book never really made an impact on me.  Or maybe it did, as I am writing this other names are coming back through the mists of my mind.  ooooooo.....Actually @Mi-Amigo I think I am sending a follow up to that last pm....

Now I am wondering is that my reading of Norse mythology or the Marvel films......

The rest of those questions were very difficult....mainly guesses.
