Your dad howls at that cheesy pun he tells you during every phone call while wearing ripped jeans and a red flannel shirt that hasn’t been in style in decades. He may be a dork, but he’s your dad, so you seemingly can’t ever bolt for the door even though you’d do so at the speed of Hermes if society allowed it.
Speaking of Hermes and scenarios that will never happen, what if we opened the imaginary door to getting a godly parent? We know talk of doors and imaginary beings leading alternate realities sounds like an episode of “Twilight Zone.” This quiz contains far more powerful entities than extraterrestrials. Your godly parent could be Zeus himself! Bolts from an enchanted hammer supersede homemade varieties if Thor is your godly parent. Be ready for anything if his chaotically clever brother Loki adopts you. Having Poseidon as your godly parent goes far more swimmingly. You’ll perform more backfists than backstrokes if Kratos reveals himself as your godly parent.
If you’re ready to find out who your mythical parent is, continue onto the quiz!
Who Is Your Godly Parent?
Greek God stories date back at least thousands of years before the common era. Although it's impossible to precisely know where the famed tales filled with color originated, since many of them grew through oral tales, historians agree Greek mythology likely derives from the Minoan civilization of Crete, which ruled in prominence from 3000 to 1100 B.C.E. Thousands of years later, Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" book series, Disney movies, and the God of War video game series have introduced these classic tales to new generations.
Norse mythology sails across much clearer home waters. Tales of Norse gods come from paganism practiced in the Scandinavian Peninsula, where Norway (hence Norse), Sweeden, and Finland reside. Acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman's books, God of War transitioning from the Greek Pantheon to Norse mythology, and Marvel's interpretation of Asgaard (particularly Thor and Loki) rejuvenated interest in Norse gods today.

Everyday Demigod Dilemmas
Welcome to the inside scoop on demigod daily life where we juggle gods, monsters, and everything in between!
Realms of Residence
Ah, home sweet home—whether it's atop Olympus, in the Underworld, or somewhere around the sea, choosing where to crash is crucial. Our godly parents have a flair for dramatic abodes, so might as well enjoy the perks, right?
- Olympus: Lightning bolt chandeliers—check.
- Underworld: Heated floors (thanks to all the fire and brimstone).
- Camp Half-Blood: Bunk beds and campfires, with a side of adventure.
Divine Duties and Pastimes
Being a demigod means balancing our divine duties—like answering prayers and managing seasons—with hobbies that keep us sane.
- Ares kids might enjoy forgeing new swords, while Demeter's offspring are probably out planting petunias with extreme prejudice.
- Poseidon's progeny? Surf's always up!
- Anything involving an animal, a hunt, or a splash of art? You're on the right track.
Monster Management 101
Meeting monsters is an occupational hazard. Whether it's by wielding a thunderous weapon or pulling off an earthquake evasion maneuver, survival is the name of the game.
- Chop Chop: A minotaur's only as tough as its weakest point, usually somewhere knee-level.
- Play Dead: For the dramatics; some monsters are suckers for a good fainting act.
Inter-Godly Relations
Some gods are all about love and others, well, bring the thunder. Our family affairs get soap-opera level intense.
- Hermes: The god of messaging means well, but family group texts can get a bit stormy.
- Ares: Got the whole "My dad can beat up your dad" vibe on divine levels.
Percy Jackson's Survival Tips
Percy Jackson—our blue food-loving hero—has been there, done that. His advice?
- Always carry a pen. Preferably one that turns into something pointy.
- If it smells like a monster, looks like a monster, it's probably Aunt Marge. Kidding! It's a monster.
The Best of Godly Gadgets
The right gadget in your pocket can turn a hairy adventure into a heroic tale.
- Hermes' winged shoes for when you need to bolt like lightning.
- A Demeter cornucopia snack pack for when the munchies hit mid-battle.
