Greek Goddess Quiz

[Mnemosyne]

I posted this quiz before in the Just Talk Forum. It's kind of cheesy, but nevertheless, it's fun. Take the little quiz to see what Greek goddess to whom you relate the most.

[Flaire-FireStar]

You scored 33.3% Artemis
If you are ruled by Artemis, your independent spirit belongs to no one but yourself. Your body is vibrant, your attitude robust and your manner vigorous and alive. You are driven by physical rather than mental energy. You feel complete without a man in your life and would never compromise your essential nature for a romantic partner. You are skilled at establishing personal boundaries and enter into relationships on your own terms -- in short, you can take care of yourself. This attitude may at times put men off.

Yes...Once again, I'm a moon Goddess....And it fits me perfectly. :D

The others went:
You scored 25% Hera
You scored 16.7% Hestia
You scored 16.7% Persephone
You scored 8.3% Athena
You scored 0% Aphrodite
You scored 0% Demeter

[ankhesen Sekhmet]

Oh yes, I remember this one. They may be cheesy but they are a fun way to make you think :)


You scored 41.7% Athena
If you are ruled by Athena, you are bright-eyed, shrewd, resourceful and inventive. With friends, you are the wise counselor -- always ready with an empowering message. You believe strongly that women can accomplish anything men can. No wonder you put so much time into your career. Athena women tend to be ruled by their heads, not by their hearts. You carefully guard your intimate side, protecting your emotions and vulnerability. If you want to awaken your unexpressed womanliness, you'll have to use the same passion you apply to your intellectual achievements. It's important that you work to integrate your strong masculine side with your feminine side -- bringing together your strength with your vulnerability, your creativity with caring, your intelligence with imagination. Otherwise, you risk coming off as unaffectionate and self-righteous. Take lessons from the goddesses Hestia and Aphrodite to do this.

25% Hera, 16.7% Persephone and Demeter. I think it was pretty accurate - what it says about Athena really hits home and Hera being second was no surprise since home making is pretty important right now too.

But if what you're looking for is an equal, loving relationship,
Thank the goddess my other half wasn't put off! :T


You scored 25% Hestia
If you embody the qualities of Hestia, you understand the value of having your own sacred place, whether it's an actual room or simply a time of day when you free your mind of busy thoughts and experience peace. While home is your sanctuary, you are at home with yourself wherever you are and no matter who you are with. You know that the meaning of your life springs from your spiritual center. This brings you a great sense of security. You do not crave attention or material possessions; you nurture your friends and family with your unconditional love.

This is more like it!

And the others...
You scored 16.7% Athena
You scored 8.3% Aphrodite
You scored 8.3% Hera
You scored 8.3% Persephone

[Flar's Freyja]

You scored 41.7% Persephone
If you exemplify the qualities of Persephone, you have most likely experienced great loss in your life -- the loss of your health or your emotional or physical security, the betrayal of a friend or lover, the loss of a child, your own divorce or that of your parents. This experience has forced you to face the dark, unenlightened side of yourself (the side that blames other people or circumstances for your own suffering) and transform yourself into a stronger, more independent, more accepting and more loving person. It may have also led you down a spiritual path, and moved you to place great emphasis on inner calm and on close connections with friends. You are capable of embracing, integrating and accepting difficult experiences. Because of that skill, you offer others the gift of empathy -- you know where people are or have been.

You scored 16.7% Aphrodite
If you are ruled mostly by Aphrodite, your femininity and passionate spirit are the controlling forces in your life. You tend to be charismatic and self-assured, comfortable with your body and unrestrained sexually. Men are drawn to you like bees to flowers, which satisfies your erotic nature. However, you tend not to form permanent attachments with lovers because you value your sexual freedom, which may leave you feeling lonely and even depleted once a relationship ends. To find and form a more lasting relationship, you need to add more of the goddess Hera to your life.

You scored 8.3% Hera
If you possess many of Hera's qualities, you tend to find fulfillment in relationships and look on marriage as a permanent union. In marriage, you feel no sense of frustration or resentment, because you are an equal partner with your spouse. You are confident and have no trouble asserting your authority in and out of the relationship. You seek men who are self-confident and successful, because you are comfortable with the concept that you can be fulfilled through him (and him through you). As long as your partner honors the marriage as much as you do and appreciates you, you will be happy. If he doesn't, you must concentrate on your own growth and discover an identity independent of him.

You scored 8.3% Athena

:lol: And I was Zero percent Hestia - the goddess of hearth and home......which doesn't surprise me. Although I'm a homebody, domestic goddess I'll never be ;)

Thanks for this! I did it a long time ago and I don't think I got the same results.

[Mithrea]

Well, I'll be different:


You scored 33.3% Persephone
If you exemplify the qualities of Persephone, you have most likely experienced great loss in your life -- the loss of your health or your emotional or physical security, the betrayal of a friend or lover, the loss of a child, your own divorce or that of your parents.

Err.Um. :2G:

[Mithrea]

Well, I was going to be different but Freyja posted while I was taking the quiz! :lol:

[MidnightSun]

You scored 33.3% Demeter
If you fit the Demeter archetype, you are a nurturer and caretaker. You have a generous heart and enjoy extending your love to others. You are motivated by the most powerful of instincts -- to give life -- and selflessly devote yourself to the life you create. You feel compelled to care for all those around you, even if they are not your own children. In short, you feel the need to be all things to all people, and therefore, your own needs sometimes go unmet. You must learn to say no, and apply Artemis's sense of boundaries and Aphrodite's ability to put herself first. That way, you can give to others from an overflowing rather than a half-full cup.

You scored 16.7% Hestia
You scored 16.7% Athena
You scored 16.7% Persephone
You scored 8.3% Artemis
You scored 8.3% Aphrodite
You scored 0% Hera

It all fits perfectly :)

Well.... I can't really remember any great tragedies in this life;) . But it's funny, I do feel a bond with Persephone, I even had a curious dream of her...

**It seems I am spread out pretty evenly**;)

[Mnemosyne]

Interesting. I got
33%- Athena
25%- Persephone
17%- Hera
17%- Demeter
8%- Artemis

I took this quiz a few months ago and got totally different results. I guess that I am in a different mood these days.

[Arzhela]

Yeah, I took this quiz a while ago too, but, similarly, got very different results this time:

33.3% Athena
25% Aphrodite
8.3% Hera
8.3% Hestia
8.3% Artemis
8.3% Persephone
8.3% Demeter

[Azure]

41.7% Aphrodite
33.3%Artemis
8.3% Athena
8.3%Persephone
8.3%Hera

Apparently no Hestia or Demeter. . . but I wasn't happy with a lot of answers to many of the questions.

I think I'm a bit more balanced than this implies - although I guess my BF would probably agree with the whole sensuality thing.

[Pan]

50% Demeter

Sucks!

[keelyoherne]

41.7% Persephone-the spiritual path leads me.
16.7% Artemis-independent to a fault at times.
16.7% Aphrodite-but men are drawn to me... until I scare the bejeezus out of them somehow (the Artemis in me coming out?). :D
16.7% Athena-which is so like me it is scary
8.3% Hestia-Gotta have my sacred space. ;)
0% Demeter-Which means I'm not mother material. No surprise there.
0% Hera-Which is strange because their writeup on her take on marriage is similar to my own.

I would love to see something like this based on the Celtic Goddesses. :D

Keely

[MoonRaven]

33.3% Persephone
25% Artemis
16.7% Athena
8.3% Hera
0% Demeter and Aphrodite (though I bet the BF would beg to differ).

I wonder if this is a good thing.

[Thistle]

33.3% Artemis. Independent, physical rather than mental energy, would not compromise self for a man, skilled at establishing personal boundaries. Yup.

33.3% Persephone. Experienced great loss (actually several), forced to face own dark side, capable of integrating and accepting difficult experiences, skill of empathy. Oh, yeah. Going through another of these right now.

25% Athena. Shrewd, resourseful, inventive, carefully guard intimate side to protect emotions and vulnerability. Yup.

8.3% Hestia. Must have own sacred place, do not crave attention or material possessions. Yup.

This is a great quiz. It's so *me* it's eerie. :D

I'm realy impressed with that all in all :o).

I never could totaly dislike Hera no matter how nasty she got from time to time. Persephone has always fasinated me so there was no suprise there. I had thought that I might have a higher score with Artemis and Aphrodite but I'm happy with the result all the same

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

Interesting...


You scored 33.3% Persephone

and 25% Aphrodite

Perhaps I should do some research on Persephone and see what happens, since I'm open to finding a personal deity.

Welcome to MW! :boing: If you are interested in finding a deity, there is a good thread stuck at the top of the forum. The thread has some useful tips. Also, if you a question about Persephone, be sure to ask. We sure love to talk about the goddesses here. :)
