According to Pausanias, an ebony statue of this man stood in the temple dedicated to him on Salamis, where he was the tutelary deity. In the Metamorphoses, he delivers a speech in which he mocks the "soft Dulichian hand" and the "dastard left hand, smooth for theft" of a man who supposedly did his deeds "all by night." He mentions the custom of a man accepting a fine paidfor the killing of his son or brother while delivering the third of three speeches in Book IX of the Iliad. This man exchanged a purple sash for a sword with an opponent who he later drove off while helping Menelaus defend the body of Patroclus. He later used that sword, given by Hector, to commit suicide after slaughtering a herd of sheep he believed to be his former allies. This warrior used his massive seven-layer shield to shelter his half-brother, the archer Teucer. For 10 points, name this Greek hero who was deeply angered that Odysseus was given the armor of Achilles.
