- shining back; counter-shining; gleaming
Meaning
The stars shine back or sparkle at VII.5, while the Eumenides' light is a dreadful answering glare at LXX.7. The compound can suggest reflected or responsive brightness without specifying a modern optical mechanism. The personal name Antauges in VI.9 is separately recorded and should not be counted as another ordinary adjective here.
