Question

This figure embodies charity by avenging the heroic addressee of The Epistle of Othea. Pyrrhus cuts off this figure’s arm in Benoît de Sainte-Maure’s (“bun-WAH duh sant-MOR’s”) Romance and Guido delle Colonne’s (“GWEE-doh DEL-lay ko-LOAN-nay’s”) History. This figure foolishly trusts Athena’s false dream, in which Ares promises glory, and begins a leopardlike aristeia that rouses Tisiphone’s (-5[1])followers to arms (-5[1])until Theano stops them. This figure abruptly arrives at the funeral of the “breaker of horses” in the alleged incipit of the Aethiopis. (-5[2])After committing sororicide while hunting in Book 1 of Quintus’s Posthomerica, this foreign leader of 12 (10[1])warriors (10[1])replaces Hector as Troy’s champion. A (-5[1])Kleist tragedy reverses this bellatrix’s defeat by Achilles, (10[1])whom (-5[1])Thersites (10[1])mocks for lusting after her (10[1])corpse. (10[2])For 10 (10[2])points, (-5[1])Vergil likely modeled Camilla on what sister of Hippolyta and queen of the Amazons? (10[2])■END■ (10[6]0[3])
