- hollow, glen, recess
Meaning
The noun describes the hollows of aither in the thunderbolt hymn (XIX.16), extending its spatial image above the earth. At Eleusis the glens are Demeter’s dwelling and the place where Antaia breaks her fast (XL.6; XLI.4). In each case the local setting determines what kind of recess is meant.
