Finally tried Beowulf when I ran out of Norse gods. Always though of him as an Old English hero.

Jul 13, 2022
yeh, it's a bit of a tricky one. The poem is old English but set in Scandinavia. I think the question could maybe be better framed - as could the Trojan war hero. I assumed that must mean Hector. The "war" part should certainly be capitalised.

Level 83
Jul 18, 2022
I agree. (Trojan War) hero =/= Trojan (war hero).

Level 61
Jul 19, 2022
I agree, the wording is pretty misleading

So this accepts "Potter" for Harry Potter, but not "Gump" for Forrest Gump...

I'm honestly really surprised that Sherlock Holmes doesn't make this list. I could be very wrong, but I though he was on a lot of quizzes. Also, QM I'm curious as to how you make these quizzes. Do you hand catalog all of the quiz answers or do you have some sort of spreadsheet that you work off of?

I use a script.

Level 85

I also tried typing Sherlock Holmes before reading any of the clues and was surprised he wasn't on there.

Level 76
Jul 14, 2022
Same here. I also tried Homer Simpson before reading any of the questions.

Also, can you allow "quixote" for Don Quixote? I doubt there are many others :)

#14 is misleading - he may be a hero of the Trojan war, but not a "Trojan war hero" in the way that is naturally parsed.

Level 79
Jul 14, 2022
Agree - I was typing in Hector, Paris, Aeneas, Troilus etc... all Trojans.

I thought that the whole point of all the various versions of the Cinderella story was that she was poor and a commoner. I've never read a version in which she's a princess.

She married the prince in the end.

Ah, I see what you mean. I was searching my memory for stories _about_ princesses - Sleeping Beauty, etc.

Anyone know why Forrest Gump and Austin Powers are so high? Those were the biggest surprises to me. Not totally surprised to see Gump on the list, but all the way up at #3?
+3
Level 82

Forrest Gump might show up on a quiz about fictional characters, movies, books, Tom Hanks, the 90s, top box office, memorable quotes, famous directors, Oscars, or several different notable historical events (Vietnam War, Kennedy assassination, Alabama University integration, etc.)... that's my best guess. This works somewhat for Powers, too, which was after all a work of satire so referenced many different things. Both were big events in the cultural zeitgeist.

Would have expected to find Jesus on here.
+7
Level 68
Jul 14, 2022
Jesus is a historical figures, there is no much doubt among historians that he existed. The fact that pretty much everything else about him is fictional doesn't change that.

God however probably should be on here.

There is doubt. Also, by your logic, Hamlet shouldn't be on here since his story was inspired by a person that really existed, too, even if it was then heavily fictionalized.
+1
Level 56
Oct 6, 2022
Good point. Actually I'd say maybe that should exclude Hamlet... otherwise you end up saying that, for example, Shakespeare could be on the list because he has been fictionalised in "Shakespeare in Love", at least one Doctor Who serial and (I'm sure) various other stuff.

I daresay the dividing line is whether the person's fictional or historical self is the better known. Perhaps. Hmm...

There is definitely a category of "semi-legendary" figures who were based on real people, but their exploits have been expanded to legendary status. I won't mention religious examples (although the shoe may fit) but there are plenty of other examples.

I’m ashamed to admit that I typed out Nanny McPhee before realizing that, of course. It was looking for Mary Poppins

The use of the word 'fictional' is badly misleading. Greek and Norse gods who feature in this are not 'fictional', they are archetypal 'mythological'. That is not the same.

Hi, not a native english speaker here, is there a big difference between "Rudolf" and "Rudolph"?
