- beautiful-tressed
Meaning
Persephone is the beautiful-haired maiden named as mother of the Eumenides, while Health is beautiful-tressed among the benefits requested from Artemis. The same visual adjective can adorn a named goddess and a personified blessing. It does not make Health another name for Persephone.
