- gentle-hearted
Meaning
The Fates are asked to be gentle in disposition at LIX.15, alongside soft-minded and airy epithets. The adjective characterizes the attitude sought from powers whose allotments affect human lives. Its link with θυμός concerns disposition, not a separate organ or a named category of fate.
