- Egypt
Meaning
Egypt supplies two geographical settings in invocations: the river-stream where Mise may be found (XLII.10) and the fertile bathing-waters associated with Aphrodite (LV.19). These settings enlarge the possible range of divine presence. They do not locate the composition or performance of the hymns themselves.
