- shake; agitate
Meaning
Nereus shakes Demeter’s sacred foundation at XXIII.5 in connection with winds driven into deep enclosures. The verb makes the instability active and forceful. The phrase’s earth-associated image should be distinguished from Nereus’ simultaneous power to confine or calm marine forces.
