- immortal; divine
Meaning
Artemis is called ἀμβροσίη in a sequence of personal epithets at XXXVI.9. This is an adjective describing her divine or deathless character, not the noun ambrosia or an offered food. The apparatus attributes the printed form to Abel against ἀμβροτέρα, so its precise form reflects an editorial choice.
