Question
After this character and his killer both call this character’s sister “the sea,” this character says, “I am asking you to kill me…asking you for life,” to which his killer replies, “Silence!...Heroes hate words!” Julio Cortázar wrote a verse drama about this character’s death, The Kings. This young antagonist is killed while wearing a ritual mask in Mary Renault’s The King Must Die. In a story, this character uses 14 to mean “infinite” and “deliver[s]” men “from evil” in a place with “no locked doors.” This (*) mythological character asks, “What will my redeemer be like?...will he be like me?” in that story, which ends with a hero saying that this character “scarcely defended himself.” This character, who narrates the Borges story “The House of Asterion,” periodically receives 14 tributes as sacrifices and is killed after a princess gives a spool of thread to Theseus.
