Ancient Greek Trivia

I knew the Peloponnesian War, but I didn't even bother typing it because I knew I would never get the spelling right and it would just frustrate me.

i admit i had to google the spelling. I attempted the spelling, but when i couldn't get close enough, i googled it.

I knew I learned them in grade school but couldn't remember all the columns.

Can you accept Olympic Games?

Olympic games, please!!!!!

Calm down, it's only a game.

I only got 5 correct

100% SAN!

Why don't people understand that there were many more Spartans fighting at Thermopylae than 300? Herodotus estimated that there were at least 5000, but modern archaeological estimates places the number more around 20,000.

People do realize it. They also realize what the question is asking for and they answer it.

Dorian, Ionian.. translation skills failed me.

School was a l-o-o-ng time ago, but I surprised myself and only missed two. Some of those answers had to fight their way through the cobwebs in my brain.

In school we always learned that Euclid was the father of mathematics, not just geometry.

Your school lied to you.

I Love these quizzes! Easy for me, but really fun.

Woah, nobody has argued yet about whether Alexander was actually from Macedonia or not. I guess it is never too late to start... LOL

He was born in Pella, in the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. What's to argue about? Of course he was from Macedonia.

The (completely silly) argument people like to have is about which modern nation-state gets the rights to use the name of the ancient kingdom and region.

While of course the last two answers are correct and should be the only ones accepted, a fun tidbit for those that are intersted is that there was also a major oracle of Zeus in Dodona (among others).

Have it say just "Trojan" for Trojan War, since Peloponnesian was without War at the end.
