Meaning
Helios dances with four-footed movement and the mixture of seasons at VIII.5. Dionysos's steps through the groves are described as performed in dance at XLVI.4. Cosmic movement and a god's remembered dancing share the verb, but neither passage supplies a complete physical dance instruction for human performers.
