- of splendid form; beautiful in appearance
Meaning
Rhea, Persephone, Adonis, Themis and Dike all receive this praise of splendid form. It turns the reader’s attention to the impressive appearance of each divine figure, without asserting that their shapes are identical. Contrast αἰολόμορφος, which emphasizes changing or various appearance rather than splendour itself.
