- Delighting in arms
Meaning
Athena and Ares both receive ὁπλοχαρής. Athena’s line continues with goading mortal souls into frenzies, while Ares’s continues with unsubdued force and wall-storming. The same delight-word belongs to distinct martial portrayals and is not in itself a synonym for victory.
