- pass through, make one’s way
Meaning
Herakles makes his way through twelve labours from rising to setting (XII.12). The verb supplies traversal, while the directional limits and numbered labours supply its cosmic and heroic extent. The English creeping should not by itself impose a humiliating or weak movement.
