- Of swans; swan-drawn
Meaning
Aphrodite approaches over the sea in κυκνείοισιν ὄχοις at LV.20. The adjective associates her vehicles with swans, naturally understood as their team or form. The apparatus reports κυανέοις, “dark-blue,” against the printed swan-word, and ὄχθοις against ὄχοις; the adopted scene of vehicles over water is therefore textually consequential.
