- sacred-wheeled
Meaning
Rhea’s chariot is sacred-wheeled at XIV.2, where the adopted line makes a bull-killing lion draw it. The adjective belongs to the vehicle. The apparatus reports a different whole clause with Rhea as implied agent and bull-bearing imagery; the adopted lion should not be inserted into that alternative as though it were witnessed there.
