From the test on Greek Mythology: Who killed Hector?
Hector pulled out his sword, now his only weapon, and charged. But Achilles grabbed his spears that had been delivered to him by the unseen Athena who wore the Hades’s Helm of Darkness. He aimed his spear and pierced the shoulder and collarbone of Hector, the only part that not protected by armor.
The wound was fatal, and in his final moments, Hector asked Achilles for an honorable funeral. In Greek culture, it was important to respect the bodies of the dead. Still furious that Hector had killed Patroclus, Achilles replied that he would let the dogs and vultures devour Hector's flesh. Who fought Hector for a full day?
The battle between Hector and Ajax raged on for a full day. At the end of the day, Zeus sent heralds down to decree the battle a tie. After the battle, the two heroes exchanged gifts to show their respect for each other. Hector gave Ajax a sword, and Ajax presented Hector with a purple sword belt.
Who covered Patrocolus' body?
Hector killed Patroclus and stole his armor. This was a great dishonor and Ajax ran to his fallen comrade’s defence. While the other Greek warriors drove the Trojans back, Ajax covered Patroclus’s naked corpse with his shield.
 After eight years and one month, after performing ten superhuman labors, he was stillnot off the hook. Eurystheus demanded two more labors from the hero, since he did not count the hydra or the Augean stables as properly done. Twelve Labors of Hercules: http://www.crystalinks.com/12laborshercules.html
The first children of Earth and Sky were the gods of time. They were ageless and beautiful and so tall that their heads scraped the sky and Mother Earth made the mountains their thrones.
The Titans were not the only children of Gaia and Uranos. There were the three cyclopes, enormous and powerful as storms, each possessed of only one glowing eye. And the three hecatoncheires, each of them with fifty heads and one hundred hands. Vain Uranos looked down upon his monstrous children and was filled with disgust. He cast them into the deepest chasm, called Tartarus, and shut them away, hidden from sight.
