- stillness; repose
Meaning
Night rejoices in stillness and sleep-rich repose at III.4. The dative expresses what delights her, while πολυύπνῳ gives the repose its particular quality. This is the restful aspect of Night’s presence, not an assertion that everything happening at night is silent or inactive.
