Who Is Your Godly Parent?
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.
