- flash forth; send out lightning
Meaning
The Eumenides flash a destructive gleam from their eyes at LXX.6–7. Both the compound and the explicit “from the eyes” identify an emitting source. This is a threatening visual manifestation, not a neutral statement that the goddesses happen to stand in a well-lit place.
