Because Oeneus had entertained this man for twenty days and gave him a purple belt, Diomedes made peace with Glaucus during the Trojan War. This son of Eurymede earned his best-known name when he killed a tyrant of Corinth. This man sacrificed a white bull to Poseidon, following instructions from a dream in which Athena brought him a golden bridle. He was ambushed by a group of Lycians sent by Iobates [Yo-BAY-tees], who had earlier protected this man despite a letter sent by Proetus ordering Iobates to kill this man. He died on the Aleian plain after his mount was stung by a gadfly during an attempt to ascend Mount Olympus. For 10 points, identify this man who slew the Chimaera while mounted on Pegasus.
