- celebrated in yearly festivals; of the year’s circuit
Meaning
Dionysos receives this epithet among mountain-roaming, fawnskin and Eros descriptions at LII.10. LSJ gives celebrated in yearly festivals and cites this locus, while the edition renders it of the year’s circuit. The annual interpretation is therefore a real lexical possibility. Nearby trieteric language should be compared with it, not silently harmonized or used to infer a precisely dated calendar.
