Well, the relationship between them is quite confused actually. Some legends said that Helios was the son of Apollo and others stated that Helios and Apollo were the same... anyway, your answer is pretty good.122. What is the partition of the world in Viking mythology? (3 points)Score Board:kuisanagi - IKen-san - 7jpenguin - 6kuisanagi - 6KvDragon - 6Amnesiac - 2Helion - 3MeleeNewb - 2Ody - 2Red Anvil - 1

Yes, Vikin and Norse are synonyms concerning mythology. But my question: what is the partition in the mythological world, not in the real world? You may answer again if you wish.

Actually I mean, who is the woman that made Agamamnon and Achilles argue with each other. Hint: Agamamnon took this woman and Achilles in reply refused to battle, giving a clear advantage to the other side.You can answer again if you wish since my question was not clear.

Actually, his Greek name is Aγαμέμνων; Agamemnoon. :DAnyhow, the woman that made the quarrel was the widow Briseis. She was a slave and Agamemnoon took her from Achilles.

I know and I guess it's a little odd to have 2 'o' when translated...But know that I am thinking (I have forgot a little since I stopped studying Ancient Greek), isn't there a rule stating that sometimes an 'omega' is short instead of being long...?BTW, I just thought: actually, the transcription of vowels is often not accurate since vowels are often alterated along with the time. On the other hand, consonants are much more stable so that the same spelling is often preserved from antiquity to today.
