Question
A poem about the defeat of this mythical figure was argued to be the source of the Iliad in Wolfgang Schadewaldt’s neoanalysis. This mythical figure was the namesake of the rhetorician Herodes Atticus’s adopted child, as well as the addressee of three epigrams carved by Julia Balbilla. This figure’s early appearances as a king of Susa are detailed in a Frank M. Snowden book. In the Metamorphoses, a flock of birds annually reenacts this figure’s death after rising from the ashes of his funeral pyre. Roman (*) tourists flocked to a statue named for this figure that would “sing” when struck by the rising sun’s rays. This son of Eos and Tithonus kills Nestor’s son Antilochus after arriving at Troy with his massive army in the Posthomerica. For 10 points, name this Ethiopian king to whom the ancients attributed Amenhotep III’s “colossi.” ■END■
