- ivy-abounding
Meaning
Dionysus is luxuriant in ivy at XXX.4 among bull-faced, warlike, Euian, and holy descriptions. The compound gives abundance rather than a single act of carrying a branch. Its coexistence with other epithets creates a many-sided divine portrait, not a detailed costume instruction.
