- sea-surging; sea-roaring
Meaning
The dolphins of the Nereids' hymn are sea-roaring or associated with the sea’s rushing surge at XXIV.8. They remain the grammatical subjects, alongside their sea-roaming and dark-gleaming descriptions. The compound merges their movement with the medium through which they travel rather than replacing them with the sea itself.
