Well, Aaron, you're in trouble now, if you're using a lifeline on a question like this one.

As I recall, there was an issue with Subway actually selling sandwiches that weren't a foot long and getting sued. Perhaps that's why this question was used.

Persephone and Aphrodite aren't winged. Luna might be (luna moth), and I know nothing about Isis except she was part of a kid's adventure hour co-featuring Shazam, and she didn't have wings in the show. I'll JTQ.

Yay! I knew a geography question! (Sort of...) Edison was the Wizard of Menlo Park, and Einstein worked at Princeton the rest of his life.

Oh good grief. Which of these is winged? I think Isis is. Pretty sure Aphrodite isn't. Persephone's human, so no. Luna's a moth, gotta have wings. JTQ 1.

[MarleysGh0st]

Wings appear to be optional in images of Isis, so that was really a celebrity trivia question and not strictly mythology.

[SportsFan68]

I was doomed either way.
