Weekly Wisdom Quiz

Dear Classical Wisdom Reader,

Once again, Helios has brought the blazing sun into the sky…

And once again, it’s time for the Weekly Wisdom Quiz.

This week, we journeyed with the sun god in his chariot, and discovered his mythology and legacy in art and literature.

We also looked at the birth of the Roman empire under Augustus, as well as the cryptic Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece.

(I think that’s a pretty busy week for just about anyone!)

So now’s the time to see what you’ve learned and test your knowledge with the Weekly Wisdom Quiz.

As always, all questions are based on articles published this week here at Classical Wisdom. A full roundup is available, alongside the answers, just below the quiz.
