3 Fates

3 Graces

3 Gorgons

3 of the people who protected the Gorgons... cant remember who they were

3 things given to the Guy who killed Medusa- Shield From Athena(minerva), Winged Sandles From Hermies (Mercury), and I cant remember the 3rd... I think it was from Zeus (Jupiter)

3 simbles of Hermies (Mercury)- Winged Sandles, Winged Helmet(Greek Only), and the Caeticus (The Staff he got from Apollo)

Zeus had 3 wives... I can only remember Hera, and i think one of the others started with 'M'

3 Golden Apples in the race (cant remember the people involved )

3 Goddeses - Hera, Aprodite and Hestia (I think)- Arguing over the Golden apple Labled "For the Fairest"

Ofcourse there would be more... I cant remember EVERYTHING i once knew... I studied the paralells a couple of years ago, out of interest, and found out alot more besides!!

But I should remember more than that...

Now, if I was going to be pedantic and nitpicky, I'd say, for instance, that the three goddesses were Hera, Pallas Athena and Aphrodite, or that Zeus had only two wives (Mentis being the first) in some accounts, or that Hermes is spelled thus, but..... naaaah I wouldn't do that [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Duuuhhhhh Lennon!! READ before you POST!

YOU yourself said something like: "I might be dyslexic but I don't think so as I'm only fifteen."

I then pointed out that you were probably confusing two terms, namely dementia (most forms of which are only found in elderly people) and dyslexia (which can occur in children just fine).
I wasn't suggesting you were dyslexic ANYWHERE, rather I pointed out that it is wrong to assume it is unlikely you have dyslexia when you're 15.
