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 (-5[1])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[4])Philoctetes (“fil-ock-TEE-teez”) kills this figure after he himself shoots an arrow into Achilles’ heel and kills him. After being promised the most beautiful woman (10[1])on earth, this figure (10[2])deems Aphrodite the winner of a contest (10[1])over a golden apple. For 10 points, name this prince who started the Trojan War by abducting Helen. ■END■ (0[1])
