Question

Description acceptable. In Homer’s Hymn to Aphrodite, the goddess warns Anchises this fate shall befall him if he reveals he fathered Aeneas with her. King Salmoneus’s hubris in driving over a bridge of brass in a chariot ultimately leads to his death in this manner. (20[1])The healer Asclepius is killed in this manner, and Typhon is cast into Tartarus after being killed in this manner. To prevent him from causing more damage with his father’s out-of-control (*) chariot, Apollo’s son Phaethon is killed in this manner. The object that caused deaths in this manner was forged by the cyclopes along with Hades’s helm of invisibility and Poseidon’s trident. For 10 points, give this cause of death enacted by Zeus with his signature object. ■END■
