Question

One of these objects “with the motion of every [one of these objects] therein” belonged to a figure whom J. R. R. Tolkien linked to the god Nodens. Herodotus claimed the diviner Hegesistratus (“hee-jee-SIS-stratus”) acquired one of these objects after escaping from the Spartans. A Rig Vedic hymn recounts how the warrior queen Vishpala received one of these objects from the Ashvins. After Miach (-5[1])crafted a superior example of these objects, his father murdered him in a jealous rage. With assistance from Creidne, Dian Cécht (“DEE-un kekt”) crafted one of these (15[1])things after the First (15[1])Battle of (*) Magh Tuireadh (“MOY TEE-rah”). The descendants of a son of Tantalus bore a white mark on their bodies commemorating the receipt of one of these objects. (10[1])The epithet “Airgetlám” refers to one of these objects used by Nuada. For 10 points, Pelops received (-5[1])what kind of object after Demeter accidentally ate the original? ■END■ (10[3]0[1])
