- male-formed
Meaning
Artemis is addressed as male-formed at XXXVI.7, among accessible and liberating titles. The compound explicitly concerns form, which distinguishes it from a simple declaration “male.” It should remain separate from the male-and-female predications applied to other deities rather than being made their automatic equivalent.
