- strange; uncanny
Meaning
Meilinoe appears through strange forms at LXXI.7, while the prayer to Dream rejects uncanny presentations of evil signs at LXXXVI.18. Both uses concern unsettling manifestations. The accompanying language of appearances should not be treated as a technical catalogue of philosophical Forms.
