- unwearying; ceaseless
Meaning
Hephaistos is unwearying fire at LXVI.1, yet the hymn asks him to stop the madness of that same unwearying fire at line 12. Persistence can therefore be beneficial or dangerous. Pan’s hymn also applies the adjective to the sea’s ceaseless power at XI.14, rather than to a personal god’s endurance.
