- swift
Meaning
Zeus’ destructive missiles are swift at XIX.6, alongside all-burning, terrifying, and mighty-spirited descriptions. The apparatus reports κρατερούς, strong, against adopted κραιπνούς. Both fit formidable weapons, but speed and strength are distinct qualities and should not be merged.
