Of changeful mixture — αἰολόμικτος

Meaning

Helios is αἰολόμικτος amid light-bearing, life-bringing and fruitful titles at VIII.12. The compound emphasizes mixture or variegation, not simply a succession of shapes. The apparatus gives printed αἰολόμικτε as Wiel’s reading against αἰολόδικτε; the mixed quality should be explained from the adopted word rather than silently transferred to the alternative.
