Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Mythology) for Wednesday, September 29, 2021 (Season 38, Game 13):
The Hippocrene Spring, sacred to the Muses, was so named because this offspring of Medusa brought it into being
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Adriana Granados, a student advisor from Fontana, California
Daniel Pecoraro, a nonprofit manager & tour guide from Brooklyn, New York
Matt Amodio, a Ph.D student from New Haven, Connecticut (30-day total: $1,107,401)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Matt picked up his 30th win yesterday; he’s just two wins behind James Holzhauer for #2 all-time. Tuesday and Wednesday are Matt’s strongest days of the week, and I would be absolutely shocked if Matt didn’t get to win #31 today.
One thing that I don’t understand about people: What do people have against excellence these days? You’re getting to watch one of the greatest players of all time play Jeopardy!, and your reaction is “Miss me with this”? No. Moreover, I have found that Matt has been one of the nicest champions, in the echelons of Buzzy Cohen in terms of just how great of a person he is. Just ask any of the people Matt has defeated; every single one of those players that I have spoken to have had nothing but kind things to say about Matt.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Pegasus?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The Hippocrene Spring, in Greek mythology, was created by the hooves of Pegasus on Mt. Helicon; drinking its water was said to give the drinker poetic inspiration.
The Pegasus, one of the most famous creatuers in Greek myth, was the famed winged horse that, in some myths, was born when Perseus decapitated its mother Medusa. It has also been said that springs would generally burst forth whenever the Pegasus’ hooves struck ground.

- Another reminder to viewers who may not be aware of the show’s rules: Leading articles may be added, dropped, or changed with another article with impunity, unless ambiguity is created with another well-known work. Thus, with regards to today’s Daily Double in SOUTHERN LITERATURE, “The Color Purple”, “Color Purple” and “A Color Purple” are all considered equal (and equally correct) in the eyes of the show.
