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 (-5[1])is the child of his first wife, (-5[1])the nymph (-5[1])Oenone (-5[1])(“oy-NOH-nee”). During one event this figure presided over, he rejected the gifts of all of the land of Europe and Asia and the skill of the greatest warriors. (10[1])Philoctetes (“fil-ock-TEE-teez”) kills this figure after he himself shoots an arrow into Achilles’ heel and kills him. After being promised (-5[1])the most beautiful woman on earth, (10[1])this (10[2])figure deems Aphrodite the (10[1])winner of a contest over a golden apple. For 10 points, name this prince who started the Trojan War by abducting Helen. (10[1])■END■ (10[3])
