Amoeba Quiz

Hi. The information on this page is about the god, Proteus. The Proteus in "Amoeba Proteus" comes from the Greek god, Proteus. Proteus is pronounced Pro-TAY-oos.

Proteus, like the amoeba, could change into anything he wanted. Any creature, any being, any plant... as far as I'm concerned. That was more or less all the information I found on him, but I didn't look very hard, since it's not directly related to my topic. But, while I'm at it, I might as well tell you what the word amoeba comes from. The Greek word amoibe means "to change." Proteus was a god, amoibe means to change.
