- unwearied; tireless
Meaning
Helios and Herakles are tireless powers, whereas tireless Hades at XVIII.9 suggests an inexorable realm. This formation in -ας is distinct from ἀκάματος even where their meanings overlap. At VIII.3 the apparatus attributes printed ἀκάμας to Hermann against ἀκάμα; the source’s grammatical shape remains part of the lookup problem.
