- fair-crowned
Meaning
The epithet adorns Aphrodite, Kythereia, and Dionysus. Its grammatical form does not distinguish male and female wearers: the surrounding names determine the referent. A crown or garland adds splendour to the divine figure, but these occurrences do not specify its material or prescribe what the worshippers must wear.
