Meaning
Eos’s risings drive Night beneath Earth at LXXVIII.5, whereas Herakles travels through his labours from risings to settings at XII.12. The first foregrounds the recurring event, the second its directional reach from east to west. The apparatus reports ἀντολίων at XII.12 against the printed accentuation ἀντολιῶν; it remains the same geographical construction.
