Brush Up Your Classical Education

School Gate - Times Online - WBLG: Do you need a better classical education? Take our quiz....: "Once, long ago, a classical education was all the rage. School pupils diligently learnt Latin and Greek, and writers from Shakespeare to Shaw assumed a knowledge of classical history or mythology. No longer...."

I used to teach a course in mythology, so I did okay on the quiz. I got the columns question right because once, very long ago when I was in grade school, I had to draw examples of all three.
