As a boy, this character begins to trade sexual favors for cat's eye marbles from his older brother after his brother accuses him of lacking a "stick."
As a boy, this character begins to trade sexual favors for cat's eye marbles from his older brother after his brother accuses him of lacking a "stick." In another appearance, an epic simile compares this character to a man who rises with outstretched arms and drawn-in feet after diving to unloose an anchor caught on a rock. As a teenager, this character is disturbed by a photograph of a volcano called "Red Patience" taken by his gay lover's grandmother. This character's dialogue with his pleading mother and his subsequent death are among the surviving fragments of a long poem named for him written by Stesichorus. That poem inspired Anne Carson's (*) verse novel Autobiography of Red, in which this character is the protagonist. This character has hairy arms, the face of an honest man, and the body of a serpent in his role as the embodiment of Fraud in the Inferno, in which Dante and Virgil descend to Malebolge by riding on his back. For 10 points, name this monster who, in Hesiod's Theogony, has his red cattle stolen by his killer, Heracles.
