- burning; heat
Meaning
Hephaestus has nature’s burning within human bodies at LXVI.13. The phrase places divine fire in embodied life as well as in the cosmic lights named earlier. It does not specify a bodily organ or set out a medical theory of metabolism; its force is the presence of heat as an active natural power.
