Question

Hera convinced this figure to guide the Argonauts past Scylla and Charybdis. In the Iliad, (15[1])Glaucus declined to fight Diomedes by recalling how Lycurgus drove Dionysus into this figure’s bosom, but was then struck blind by Zeus. This figure parallels Eos in vases depicting a weighing of souls, likely referencing a conflict in the Aethiopis. This figure seized Zeus’ knees with her left hand and his chin with her right while (*) petitioning him in a scene later painted by Ingres. This “silver-footed” figure summoned the Hecatonchire Briareus to intimidate a group of gods conspiring against Zeus. (10[1])This figure’s sisters lamented with her in a cave after hearing her scream in Book XVIII (“eighteen”) of the Iliad, which also describes how this shapeshifting nymph (10[1])and Eurynome raised Hephaestus. For 10 points, name this Nereid mother of Achilles. ■END■
