Question

This figure kills Corythus in a fit of jealousy, not recognizing that he is the child of his first wife, the nymph Oenone (10[1])(“oy-NOH-nee”). During one event this figure presided over, he rejected the gifts of all of the land of Europe (-5[1])and Asia and the skill of the greatest warriors. (10[2])Philoctetes (“fil-ock-TEE-teez”) kills this figure after he (10[1])himself shoots an arrow into Achilles’ heel and kills him. (10[1])After being promised the most beautiful woman on earth, this figure deems Aphrodite (10[1])the winner of a contest over a golden apple.
