Meaning
The sea has gentle fair-weather courses (XXII.5), the Stars complete a good course for reputable works (VII.13), and Helios draws the cosmos’s harmonious course (VIII.9). The common idea is directed movement; only context establishes whether it is watery, beneficially purposeful or cosmic-musical.
