Step-by-step explanation:
Ajax, the son of Telamon, is depicted in Homer’s “Iliad” as a mighty Greek soldier in the Trojan War. He faced off against Hector, Troy’s strongest fighter, and later rescued Achilles.
When Odysseus laid claim to Achilles’ armor, Ajax fell on his sword out of jealousy. The Sophocles work “Ajax” describes this series of tragic events in detail.
Note: Ajax is also a popular household cleaning brand, and may be clued as such.
Possible clues: “Trojan war hero,” “Sophocles tragedy,” “‘Iliad’ figure,” “Role in ‘Troy’,” “Son of Telamon,” “War hero who killed himself with a onetime rival’s sword,” “Comet competitor,” “‘Stronger than dirt’ sloganeer,” “Cleanser whose name comes from Greek myth”
2. ARES
Ares, the Greek god of war, is one of the 12 Olympian deities and a son of Zeus and Hera. He fathered several children with Aphrodite: Phobos and Deimos, who fought alongside him in combat, as well as Harmonia and, by some accounts, Eros.
In Greek sculpture, pottery or other artwork, Ares is usually depicted in battle attire, especially a helmet. Ares is said to have sported golden armor and ridden in a chariot pulled by four immortal, fire-breathing horses.
Unlike Mars, the Roman equivalent, Ares was not well-liked by the gods around him, and was consequently worshiped less by the Greeks.
Possible clues: “Greek war god,” “God of war,” “Lover of Aphrodite,” “Mars’ counterpart,” “Son of Zeus,” “Bellicose deity,” “Father of Harmonia,” “Vultures were sacred to him,” “Trojan ally, in the ‘Iliad’,” “God whose name is a homophone of a zodiac sign”
3. EOS
Eos, the Greek goddess of dawn, is the daughter of the titans Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of sun and moon deities Helios and Selene. In Homer’s “Iliad,” Eos is said to have “rosy fingers” that create the dawn view.
Her lovers included Orion, Cephalus and the mortal Tithonus, for whom Eos notably requested immortality from Zeus yet accidentally left out eternal youth. Thus, while Tithonus was able to live forever, he still aged over time.
Note: EOS is also a line of Canon cameras, and may be clued this way in New York Times crosswords as well.
Possible clues: “Dawn goddess,” “Daughter of Hyperion,” “Aurora’s Greek counterpart,” “Sister of Selene,” “Sister of Helios,” “‘Rosy-fingered’ Greek goddess,” “Lover of Tithonus, in myth,” “Canon camera,” “Camera named for a goddess”
4. ERATO
Erato is one of the nine Muses, a group of sisters serving as patron goddesses for the liberal arts. In particular, Erato is the Muse of love poetry and bears a lyre in artistic depictions.
Her father is Zeus, and her mother is Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. Her other sisters are: Calliope (Muse of epic poetry, by many accounts), Clio (history), Euterpe (music), Melpomene (tragedy), Polymnia (sacred poetry), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy) and Urania (astronomy).
Possible clues: “Muse of poetry,” “Sister of Clio,” “Poetic Muse,” “Sister of Thalia,” “Muse of love poetry,” “Sappho’s Muse,” “One of nine sisters,” “Lyre player of mythology,” “Odist’s inspiration,” “Muse whose name means ‘beloved’”
6. HERA
The daughter of Titans, Hera was the wife of Zeus – as well as his sister – thus making her the queen of Mount Olympus. As a goddess, Hera stood for the protection of women as well as for marriage. She was also the patron deity of the Greek cities Argos and Samos, where celebrations would be held in her honor.
At times, Hera would be depicted as hateful and hostile because of her envy of Zeus’ other lovers. However, along with her rancor came respect for her as a strong, majestic leader of the gods during times of both war and peace.
Possible clues: “Wife of Zeus,” “Daughter of Cronus,” “Queen of the heavens,” “Mother of Ares,” “Queen of Olympus,” “Jealous wife in Greek myth,” “Juno, to the Greeks,” “Bickerer in the ‘Iliad’,” “Goddess in a chariot drawn by peacocks”
