9 / 9

Athena

Your wisdom is divine. A clever and confident decision-maker you often use your brain power to help others, but not too much (you've been known to sit on sidelines watching your favourites fight out their battles). You generally prefer the company of those who are as clever as you are, though you have a soft spot for up and coming heroes.

Telemachus

Perhaps because of your young age you can often feel underestimated by others who try to intimidate you; and you lack the confidence to stand up for yourself and feel protective of those close to you. You're determined though and proactive in seeking the advice and experience you need to become a stronger person.

Circe

You're ambitious and resourceful in getting what you want. How resourceful? Well, how about 'concocting potions to turn people into animals' resourceful. But maybe you're also lonely, living alone in a mansion on an island, and misunderstood; who said all witches are bad?

Odysseus

Wily, adventurous and daring you have the sharp tools and thirst for glory to make a name for yourself in this world. Taking on sea monsters, evading enchantments, outwitting man-eating one-eyed monsters and challenging the gods you've proven yourself to be capable of getting out of tough situations, and a little (or very) hot headed. But with all the excitement the world has to offer, home is really where your heart is, and you'd go to great lengths just to be with your loved ones.

Polyphemus

You follow social rules of hospitality and you don't appreciate people invading your personal space; especially when they turn up uninvited, eat your food and blind you in your sleep. Those who encroach on your territory will face the consequences but remember to keep your wits about you so 'no one' gets the better of you.

Penelope

Twenty years of separation from a loved one isn't enough to damper your hope of ever seeing them, or to tempt you in to the arms of other eager suitors. Though your loyalty may give the impression you are meek, you are not one to be underestimated. You may not be one for confrontation but you are brave and skilled at weaving up other ways to ward off the pressures of others.
