Question

This character laments that men can’t buy babies at temples in a misogynistic (15[1])rant he delivers after bursting through a palace door. In The Clouds, Aristophanes riffed on this character’s claim that “my tongue swore but my heart remained unpledged,” a line whose sophistic immorality scandalized Athenians. In the opening scene, this hunter explains that he worships “Cypris” from “a long way off” when asked why he doesn’t lay a wreath on her altar. (15[1])In that play, a nurse pleads with this (*) title man on behalf of a woman who is trying to starve herself to death out of love for him. (10[1])This character angers Aphrodite with his chaste (-5[1])devotion (10[1])to Artemis, (10[1])setting (10[1])off a chain of events (10[1])that ends with a (10[1])monstrous bull (10[1])rising from the sea to capsize his chariot. For 10 points, name this title character (-5[1])of a Euripides play, (10[1])a son of Theseus (10[1])who is falsely accused of rape by his stepmother Phaedra. (-5[1])■END■ (10[3]0[2])
