- thick-haired; long-haired
Meaning
Adonis is thick- or long-haired at LVI.7, beside splendid form and delight in hunting. The hair image contributes to his visible appearance rather than standing automatically for vegetation. It complements the earlier soft-haired epithet ἁβροκόμης without being the same word or stressing exactly the same quality.
