- wind; Winds
Meaning
The Prayer invokes all the Winds as powers; Hera nourishes winds at XVI.4; Apollo as Pan sends their whistlings at XXXIV.25. Divine agents and moving air overlap in this vocabulary. The noun itself does not tell the reader whether a particular line is personifying the winds or describing their physical movement.
