- swift-rushing
Meaning
Zeus hurls thunderbolts described as εὐροθίους and flaming at XIX.7. The adjective continues the account of the missiles from line 5, emphasizing their rushing movement. The apparatus reports ἐς ῥοθίους, a divided phrase whose construction is not securely explained by the short note; it is not merely another inflection of the adopted compound.
