Some people know that many Mardi Gras krewes are named after Greek gods, and some people know that there are a number of Greek gods that have Roman equivalents. Your friend is someone who knows both those facts, and apparently many others. Instead of just giving you a list of their favorite parades, they’ve given you a series of cryptic clues. To be honest, you probably want to avoid hanging out with them in the future, but they promised you a prize if you can figure out which parades they’ll be at. So why not take a stab at it.
Organize their list of favorites and take the specified letter to spell out their very favorite parade of all! Enter that at the end of DeLaporteBrainbuster.com/ to continue.
