Quick facts and themes to look for

- Match deities to symbols (ankh, crook and flail, solar disk, feathers)

Tips for improving your score
If two answers look similar, use clues like animal forms, titles, and domains (sun, sky, embalming, fertility) to narrow it down.
Replaying quizzes helps because repeated exposure to names and iconography is one of the fastest ways to build recall in mythology-heavy topics.
