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