- deep-crashing; heavy-roaring
Meaning
Poseidon is deep-crashing beside sea-resounding and earth-shaking titles at XVII.4. The compound intensifies the noise of his power rather than naming a distinct sound-making instrument. The apparatus attributes printed nominative βαρύκτυπος to Hermann against vocative βαρύκτυπε; the source retains the nominative within the address.
