Meaning
The feminine λαμπετίη addresses Selene at IX.9 as a horn-bearing glory of night. Its force here is luminous. Although lexical access connects the epithet with λαμπέτης, and the same spelling can be a personal name elsewhere, this passage does not identify Selene as a different named daughter of Helios.
