Question
Cycnus beheaded strangers in order to erect a temple of skulls dedicated to this god, whom Alexander the Great offered sacrifices to on the eve of the Battle of Gaugamela. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this lion-headed son of Ares and Aphrodite who routs the enemy by inducing panic. Though some translations refer to this personification of fear as “Terror,” that moniker usually refers to his brother Deimos.
ANSWER: Phobos [or Pavor; reject “Phoebus”]
[10m] In the Dionysiaca, Eris takes the form of this goddess while Phobos takes the form of Attis, the consort of her [emphasize] Phrygian counterpart. This skilled wrestler cast her predecessor, Eurynome (“yer-IN-uh-mee”), into Tartarus.
ANSWER: Rhea [or Rheia or Ops; accept Rhea-Cybele; prompt on Meter Theon]
[10h] In the Iliad, Phobos hangs like a garland off of this object that is imbued with the powers of “heart-freezing” Ioke (“eye-O-kee”) and Alke (“Al-kee”). The kursas, a sacred Hittite hunting bag, may have inspired the tales of this non-golden object.
ANSWER: aegis [or aigis; prompt on the shield or cloak of Athena or Zeus] (The kursas is also linked to the Golden Fleece.)
