- keen-sighted; watchful
Meaning
Pan is called keen-sighted immediately before “hunter” at XI.9. That company favours alertness appropriate to pursuit and observation. The same line turns to Echo and the nymphs, so the epithet contributes to Pan’s active presence in a landscape rather than describing an abstract faculty detached from his surroundings.
