Honestly? The subject matter of the Frist Center for the Visual Arts didn't exactly have me lunging onto 40 East toward downtown Nashville. But I'm glad I took the media tour for "Heroes: Mortals & Myths in Ancient Greece." If you are a homeschooling parent, a student of history, a lover of Greek mythology, a fan of ancient Greece, pottery or antique art, you'll experience an engrossing walk through an upper quadrant of the art center. The newfound info into the visitor's psyche enhances the rest of the tour as one can learn about their hero as depicted in the exhibit's art. (Taped tours are available.)

The best part of this understated exhibit of statues, reliefs, vases, bronzes and jewelry, is a personality quiz that Center goers can take to determine which Greek hero they most resemble. A short computer Q&A spits out the match and the guest leaves the small station with a metal pin and card picturing and explaining, respectively, their hero and his/her characteristics. Yours truly is most like Odysseus, aka Ulysses.
