- Antauges
Meaning
Antauges is one of the names applied to Protogonos at VI.9, following Priapos and the explanation of Phanes. The personal-name accent and accusative ending are important. The apparatus attributes Ἀνταύγην to Hermann against ἀνταυγῆ, a form that can point toward the ordinary adjective “counter-shining,” so the naming construction is an adopted reading.
