Although I guessed correctly, I think that the image representing Apollo is misleading. Between the long hair and what looks to be an exposed breast (not very pronounced, but looks more like a somewhat flat breast than an actual pectoral muscle, and being a male god, Apollo should have a pectoral that actually looks as such), it honestly looks more like a Goddess. So, one could waste time, as I did, typing "Athena", "Artemis", or even "Antiope" or "Andromeda" or "Arachne", etc etc. The lyre should be a clue, but the other features point away from that and make you think otherwise for a while.

The long hair is actually a way to recognise him, it is one of his features/attributes. Along with the lyre.

Nice quiz update with these images! As Milo74 said above, I find the Apollo image really confusing due to the lack of clues in this image. The lyre is present but the chosen work leads to confusion if the character is a young man or a woman. An Aphrodite in her shell or with her apple would have been much easier to find in my opinion.

How do more people know Asterix than Andy Dufresne!?

Because the franchise that has his name in its name is way more popular than the one movie Andy Dufresne appeared in?

Apollo is looking quite feminine. Thought he was maybe Athena or Aphrodite. Playing the lyre/harp didn't help either, but that's probably a modern day stereotype.

Yeah, if anything the lyre should've been a clue, as it was one of his most major symbols as the god of music and was not associated with either Athena or Aphrodite.

Yeah right as I clicked on "give up" I thought, Wait is that actually Apollo? His low percentage shows that this is just a tricky picture of him.

As Astana said above, I found it a bit... odd that Apollo was listed as a "fictional character". I'm not Greek and I don't have any personal, cultural relation to Greek mythology - and I'm not even religious myself - but I would probably feel weird if figures from my ancestral culture's mythology were referred to as "fictional characters".

Like I know what the quizmaster was going for - figures that aren't real in the physical world or who weren't actual historical figures, but I would still maybe avoid reducing religious/cultural figures to "fictional characters", no matter how old that culture or religion is. It probably still has cultural significance, especially in the country/countries it originated. It's like calling significant figures in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism or any other world religion "fictional characters". Or like calling Native American or ancient Chinese mythological figures "fictional characters". Idk, it feels weird even for an old religion/mythology.
