About Us:

The Medusa Mythology Exam Committee is proud to announce its sponsorship of the eleventh annual "Medusa Mythology Examination." The exam is available to all students (regardless of enrollment in Latin/Greek courses) in grades 6-12. The Medusa was developed in order to allow those talented in mythology an opportunity to excel and be recognized. Another aim is to increase students’ exposure to mythology.

The Medusa is composed of 50 multiple choice questions. The Medusa Exam Committee, a team of ten professors, teachers, and students, will design the syllabus and questions for the exam. In addition, a panel of esteemed teachers will review the initial copy of the exam to ensure its complete mythological accuracy. The Medusa Exam Committee will then review the final copy of the exam.

Top achievers on the exam will receive certificates or medals imported from Italy. Our highest-scoring participants will be able to apply for several Achievement Awards to assist with educational expenses.

The Medusa has been approved by the Contests & Activities Committee of the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
