- undiscriminating; unconsidered
Meaning
In the hymn to Nemesis, a presumptuous soul rushes into speech with an undiscriminating impulse (LXI.7). The dative ἀδιακρίτῳ agrees with ὁρμῇ, “impulse”; it does not directly label each spoken word. The criticism falls on the reckless movement of speech and judgement.
