Thanks, Azalea!
Okay, here it is (and there's two parts to it)... In Norse mythology, what was Loki's punishment for causing the death of which god?

Lancelot was a Christian "hero". The Arthurian legends are Welsh but the later editions were very heavily Christianised, scholars suspect that Arthur was himself a pagan and earned the oppoisition of the Christian Church but Lancelot only appeared in the Christian stages.
(BTW the last three posts have been answeing Afro elf's questions on Arthur)

If you mean pop music stars, how about Olivia Newton-John, Angus Young (AC/DC), and Michael Hutchins (INXS)? (How's that for a mixed bag?)

Right question....In Greek Mythology who did the Apples of the Hesperides belong to at the time of the Labours of Herakles?
