- fair-weather, tranquil, clear
Meaning
The adjective describes Helios, the Kouretes and the sea’s gentle courses (VIII.14; XXXVIII.24; XXII.5). Aither is asked to be tempered and fair (V.6). These uses connect calm atmospheric conditions with favourable divine influence, rather than simply meaning morally good.
