- of the thunderbolt
Meaning
Zeus is thunderbolt-bearing or thunderbolt-associated at XV.9, beside lightning and thunder epithets and a growth-producing title. The heading of XIX uses the same adjective to distinguish that hymn’s focus. The adjective qualifies Zeus; it does not name the missile itself, for which κεραυνός is used.
