- flourishing on both sides; flourishing all around
Meaning
At XLVI.2 Bacchos is blooming on both sides, longed for and kindly. The surrounding birth and nurture language permits a parental resonance in ἀμφιθαλής, but the verse does not expressly specify the technical condition of having two living parents. The flourishing image is secure; the exact force of “both sides” remains less fixed.
