- heart-shaking; terrifying
Meaning
Zeus’ flying weapon is heart-shaking at XIX.8, beside terrifying and hair-raising descriptions. The compound names its effect on those exposed to it. The apparatus reports uncertain χρονοκάρδιον; that string should not become an invented doctrine joining time and the heart.
