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 crafted a superior example of these objects, his father murdered him in a jealous rage. With assistance from Creidne, Dian Cécht (15[1])(“DEE-un kekt”) crafted one of these things after the First 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 (-5[1])used by Nuada. For 10 points, Pelops received what kind of object after Demeter accidentally ate the original? ■END■ (10[2])
