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. Frustrated that his sacrifice was not honored, this deity caused Pasiphaë (“puh-SIFF-uh-ee”) to fall in love with a white bull. This god cursed Odysseus to wander for 10 years after Odysseus blinded this god’s son, Polyphemus. Although this deity 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■
