From here you can access a variety of Games and Quizzes on the Classics Pages.
The Really Hard Classics Quiz.
This is a really fiendish quiz: 100 questions (multiple choice or true/false, covering all aspects of Classics) to be answered in under 30 minutes. A certificate if you get 90% or more - but all who take it will get a full breakdown of scores, missed questions, time taken etc. Only works in Explorer, I'm afraid.
To play the game: make sure that popups are enabled. Try holding down CTRL while you click, until the window appears. For HELP click here.
You may be made to log in twice - sorry if so.(The login is so you can receive your certificate - I don't collect any information from the quiz: everything disappears after you've finished.) Good luck!

The Odyssey Game
A very old favourite - it's considerably older than the Classics Pages, but still extremely popular. You adopt a character from the Odyssey (Odysseus, Telemachus or Penelops) and try to follow their adventures.

The Iliad Game.
A more complex game, which involves answering up to 200 questions. You identify with a variety of characters as you attempt to show off your knowledge of the Iliad. Needs a long time to complete, although there is an ingenious system of bookmarking. Probably not for the beginner!

The Oedipus Game.
The most popular thing on the Classics Pages. A very testing series of multiple choice questions, which can stretch even those who think they know the play well. A timer is provided so you can tell how long you took to complete.
