- female messenger
Meaning
The feminine noun addresses Eos as messenger of a great, gentle Titan (LXXVIII.3). It names the bearer of a message, not the message itself. The genitive phrase identifies whose messenger she is while leaving that Titan unnamed in the line. The apparatus query αγγελιῶτι? proposes another feminine messenger form. It is an editorial question, not an adopted verse form or a reported manuscript attribution.
