- Adrasteia; Adresteia
Meaning
Prayer.36 invokes Adrasteia as a queen beside other named divine powers. The name is separately retrievable because the line presents her as a recipient of invocation, not merely as an epithet to be translated. An identification with Nemesis may be tempting, but it is not expressly made in this passage.
