Meaning

Nike brings γλυκερώτατον εὖχος at XXXIII.5, the sweetest success or glory. The object is the welcome result of her intervention, not the prayer uttered by her worshipper. At LXXII.4 εὖχος is reported only as an apparatus alternative to adopted εἶδος, appearance; that report does not add a second primary verse occurrence.
