- man-slaying; associated with human killing
Meaning
Ares delights in man-slaying blood at LXV.4. The adjective agrees with αἵματι and intensifies the violence of the scene; it does not introduce another named killer. The phrase leads into a petition for the cessation and redirection of that martial force.
