Cool teaser Andy. Definitley hard... *must know greek mythology* Keep them coming.
Great teaser. French class came in handy.....(somehow) anyways keep up the good work
Another one I got for the wrong reason... I just knew the two names were Greek and not Roman, whereas the others in list B were all Roman translations.
No. Ares, Hermes, and Persephone are all Greek.
Ha! It was all Greek to me!
There's an old saying " I was out in left field". Well I wasn't even in the ballpark on this one.
Well, I was in the field, but close to the fence.
Got this one after a couple of blind alleys. Had to look up Coelus to make sure, but I was pretty certain from the others. Good one.
Uranus is Ouranos.
Otherwise good teaser, I got it right completely wrong.
Otherwise good teaser, I got it right completely wrong.
I was in the outfield too!
Made no sense.
I already commented and it is still Greek to me today!
I figured that was it, but since I didn't know who was whom, I didn't really get it correct. Nice puzzler!
Same as before.
I got it right, but for the wrong reason. I thought those were the only two that were also gods.
