- stop; bring to a standstill
Meaning
Dionysus stops the earth’s violent quakings at XLVII.3, and Ares is asked to stop raging strife at LXV.6. These transitive uses bring a disruptive process to a halt. They should not be rendered simply “stand,” as though the god or the strife merely occupies a position.
