- Darkly gleaming, feminine form
Meaning
At XXIII.1 κυαναυγέτιν agrees with ἕδρην, Nereus’s seat at the roots of the sea. The darkness and gleam colour the underwater dwelling rather than Nereus’s body. This feminine formation remains distinct from κυαναυγής, although their descriptive ranges overlap.
