- bend back or restrain
Meaning
In the appended Ares hymn the speaker asks that the soul's deceptive impulse be bent back or restrained in the mind (LXXXVIII.13). The physical image of bending becomes self-restraint. Its place in the appendix should remain explicit rather than being used to establish one uniform psychology for the core collection.
