- Lydian; the Lydians
Meaning
At XLIX.6 Tmolos is described as a beautiful θόασμα for the Lydians. The dative Λυδοῖσι identifies the people for whom the place has that association. The neighbouring θόασμα is a dance-ground, so the English “seat” should not reduce the whole phrase to a political capital.
