See if there is interest for this.
1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

I hope it is okay if I do the honors this time :)
I was inspired by Emerald's jackel question and I decided to go with a quiz of other mythical transformations:
1. It wasn't bad enough that this woman was turned into a bear for her ill-advised affair with a god, she was also hunted and killed by her own son, can you name her?
2. Actaeon was changed into a stag and devoured by his own hunting dogs for offending Artemis how?
3. The nymph Daphne was transformed into this kind of tree, after begging for help to escape the god Apollo's unwanted advances.
4. Unhappy with her husband's infidelities, Hera changed his mistress into a cow. The woman was then only able to identify herself to her family and friends by tracing these two letters (her name) in the dirt with her hoof.
5. Arachne was transformed into a _____ after boasting that she could _____ better than the goddess Artemis.
6. What form did Zeus take to seduce Leda the mother of Helen of Troy.
7. Zeus transformed himself into a shower of gold to visit the mother of this hero?
8. This man was changed into a flower after dying because he could not tear himself away from his own reflection.
9. Apollo decided to shoot the messenger by doing what to the raven who told him of his girlfriend's affair.
10. As punishment for feeding the god Zeus a meal containing human flesh, this man was changed into a wolf (the technical term for "turning" into a werewolf is a derivative).

4. If it was three letters, I would have guessed M-O-O
5. Spider, Sew (?)
6. oooh I saw the movie. He turned into Colin Farrell.
7. maybe Hercules?
8. I think Narcissus
*knows he's flailing wildly like a kid in the wrong end of a deep pool*
