- inventive of arts
Meaning
Athena is addressed as εὑρεσίτεχνε at XXXII.14 between her grey-eyed epithet and her title as much-besought queen. The compound credits her with invention in the sphere of arts or crafts. “Arts” here should not be narrowed to modern fine art, nor expanded into a list of specific inventions absent from the hymn.
