- well-running, swift, making good progress
Meaning
Helios is a swift charioteer and Artemis a good runner (VIII.6; XXXVI.6). Eros is swift in his rush (LVIII.2), whereas ships require a favourable course of movement (XVII.9). The word can thus emphasize speed or successful progress, depending on what is moving.
