Meaning
Beautiful hair adorns Leto in the Prayer and the nymph-maidens with whom Dionysus awakens in LIII.2. The adjective is a visual praise-word, not a statement that the nymphs perform a hair-related rite. The dative at LIII.2 belongs to his female companions, while the Prayer’s accusative follows the invocation of Leto.
