Question

This deity was venerated by Theseus in the Panhellenic Games, which were inspired by the earlier Isthmian games. During the Gigantomachy, this god broke off a piece of an island and used it to crush the giant Polybotes. (-5[1])Frustrated that (10[1])his sacrifice was not honored, (10[1])this deity caused Pasiphaë (“puh-SIFF-uh-ee”) to fall in love with a white bull. (10[2]-5[1])This (10[1])god cursed Odysseus (10[1])to wander for 10 years after Odysseus blinded this god’s son, (10[1])Polyphemus. Although this deity (10[1])won a footrace to the Acropolis, his gift of a spring was judged inferior to Athena’s olive tree. Pegasus was a child of this god of horses. For 10 points, the trident symbolizes what Greek God of the sea? ■END■ (10[1])
