About this quiz

What you’ll explore

Step into Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian belief worlds and see how major deities, city cults, and epic stories connect. Questions range from straightforward identifications to “who did what” myth moments.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through tricky names, roles, and relationships without pressure.

Skills you’ll practice

  • Matching deities to domains (storms, wisdom, love, underworld, kingship)
  • Recognizing alternate names, titles, and syncretized forms across eras
  • Placing myths and epics in context (creation stories, floods, hero cycles)
  • Identifying symbols, sacred animals, and temple/city associations
  • Separating Mesopotamian figures from similar Egyptian or later Greek parallels

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many misses come from confusing similar-sounding gods, mixing up family ties, or assuming one “standard” version of a myth. Watch for questions that hinge on roles (function) versus names (identity), and remember that different cities and periods favored different versions.

Difficulty and question count settings

Difficulty is balanced as Mixed: you’ll get a blend of accessible core knowledge and tougher, detail-based items to keep the run engaging. Before you start, choose how many questions you want to attempt and pick an easier or harder setting to match your comfort level—or keep it mixed for the full spread.
