Before we get to this week’s trivia, please allow me to share my weekly fantasy football rant. (Please skip to the next paragraph if you don’t care about my fantasy teams.) I lost by one point in one of my leagues this week because Kyle Orton scored -1 points. That’s not a typo; he scored negative points. If Orton didn’t play or if I started Tony Romo (who was on a bye), former Steelers and Birmingham Stallions QB Cliff Stoudt (retired in 1985) or even Johnny Unitas (died in 2002), I would have won via the tie-breaker. I ended up going 1-3 this week meaning that my teams are 3-2, 2-3, 1-4 & 1-4 (including a loss to my brother this week. Ugh!). I am terrible this season.
Your challenge this week is to name the Roman equivalent of each Greek god or goddess listed below. This is clearly a blind spot in my knowledge since I only got one or two correct.
1. Athena
2. Zeus
3. Eros
4. Ares
5. Aphrodite
6. Demeter
7. Hermes
8. Hades
9. Dionysus
10. Poseidon
As always please leave your answers in the comments section below, and do not use the internet for assistance. Good luck!

3 out of 4 for Nichole (Apollo was incorrect), but an extremely impressive 10 of 10 for Ngewo. The same guy who once answered "radish" for a question about letters knows his Greek & Roman gods and goddesses! :)
