Question

This figure offered a golden crown to anyone who could defeat a champion bull, so Ares transformed into a bull and won it. This figure kills Corythus in a fit of jealousy, not recognizing that he is the child of his first wife, the nymph Oenone (“oy-NOH-nee”). During one event this figure presided over, he rejected (-5[1])the gifts of all of the land of Europe and Asia and the skill (10[1]-5[1])of the (10[1])greatest warriors. Philoctetes (“fil-ock-TEE-teez”) kills this figure after he himself shoots an arrow into Achilles’ heel and kills him. After being promised (10[1])the most beautiful woman on earth, this figure deems Aphrodite the winner of a contest over a golden apple. For 10 points, name this prince who started the Trojan War by (10[1])abducting Helen. (10[1])■END■
