" "Heroes" "

Today we play a little "Ancient Heroes Jeopardy" So make sure you put your answers in the form of a question!

1. He slew the Bull of Heaven and then tore off its hindquarters to threaten an overly amorous goddess.

2. He defeated the Gorgon Medusa by viewing her only by her reflection on his shield.

3. He killed the dragon Fafnir and bathed in its blood, making him invulnerable except for one spot that was covered by a leaf.

4. He wrestled with a mysterious being until daybreak, and then took the name "One who has struggled with God"

5. He killed the fire breathing Aillen to claim his birthright.

6. She joined the Army disguised as a man.

7. She was a legendary warrior and instructor who trained the hero Cúchulainn

8. He was a blacksmith who, after loosing 18 of his sons to a foreign ruler, led a revolt to free his people.

9. He lifted a mountain to find a healing herb, and later, assumed his five faced form to blow out five magic lamps at the same time and free his friend.

10. He roped the sun with his sister's hair so that it would slow down; thus with the days longer, his mother's cloth would dry better.

Let's face it, I had to look many of these up. I expect most of you to have to do it as well. If you know more than half without looking them up (spelling does not count) then you really should think about teaching at University. And no, even though the picture is of Hercules/Heracles, he is not one of the answers.
