Question

Apollodorus claimed that this figure was exiled in a case arbited by Neoptolemus, who aspired to control Cephalonia. This figure traveled to Elis, where he received a mixing bowl depicting the story of Trophonius, and later married the queen of the Thesprotians in a lost epic named for his son. This figure’s grandfather named him in reference to the many men and women said grandfather had angered. Tiresias instructed this figure to make a sacrifice after traveling until men believed he was holding a (*) “winnowing fan.” (10[1])This figure won a footrace (10[1])to marry the daughter of Icarius. Contrary to a prophecy predicting his peaceful death, this “complicated” man was killed with a (10[1])poisoned stingray spear by his own son. For 10 points, name this Homeric hero whose son by Circe, Telegonus, married his wife Penelope after his death. ■END■
