- leader
Meaning
In the appended Ares hymn, ἀγέ addresses the god as leader of the most just men (LXXXVIII.5). The dependent genitive identifies those he leads. This is the vocative of ἀγός, not the familiar imperative ἄγε, “lead” or “come”; the distinction preserves the line’s sequence of divine titles.
