- unyoked; unmarried
Meaning
At LV.25 Aphrodite’s company includes unyoked maidens and brides. That pairing gives ἄδμητος its marital and sexual relevance here, rather than the unrestricted sense “impossible to subdue.” The image of being unyoked distinguishes the maidens' condition from the brides' without erasing their common participation.
