Here's one for the Percy Jackson fans, general Greek Mythology fans, or people who are just bored and want to take a quiz.
I've already taken this quiz before, about seven times, because I wanted to see if my result would differ. However, I ended up with Apollo every time I took the quiz. The God of The Sun, music, archery, poetry, healing, plagues and the truth. In reality, I am awful at archery and can't play an instrument.

Hades. Somehow I’m not surprised

So ... am I going to have an adventure or just horse around?

Apollo.
Modern scholars of the Greek classics usually oppose Apollo to Dionysus. Apollo represents order, and Dionysus with wildness and excess. I think of myself as more Dionysian than Apollonian.

Do I need to be worried?
I'd say that Hades is fairly tame compared to most of the Greek Gods. He's often presented as a villain in modern adaptions, but I'd say Zeus is the absolute worst. Compared to most of the relationships presented in Greek mythology, Hades and Persephone have the closest to what I'd consider healthy. There is the fact that in some versions it starts with him kidnapping her, but healthiest relationship in Greek mythology is certainly a low bar.

Artemis. It's weird since I've never hunted and don't like the idea of it. It guess its where they put you if you like nature.
Surprising it didn't give you Demeter. Especially since the hunters were almost exclusively female, with the exception of Orion (who ends up being turned into a deer and hunted down by Artemis). There was a small child in one of the stories who stumbles upon the hunters and is given the choice between death or becoming female and joining the hunters (the child chooses to join them).

You'll upset the neighbourhood if you don't stop.
