- confronting; meeting; assailing
Meaning
Meilinoe comes with confronting approaches through dark night at LXXI.9. Here the adjective gives her encounters an unsettling, potentially assailing character. Its similarity to the divine title Antaia does not justify importing the gentler associations of supplication into this nocturnal scene.
