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 (-5[1])and women said grandfather had angered. Tiresias (-5[1])instructed this figure to make a sacrifice after traveling until men believed he was holding a (15[1])(*) “winnowing fan.” This figure won a footrace to marry the daughter of Icarius. (10[2])Contrary to a prophecy predicting his peaceful death, this “complicated” man was killed (10[2])with a 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■ (10[1])
