- Releasing; delivering
Meaning
The repeated λύσιε addresses Dionysos in L, whose heading also names this releasing aspect. XLII.4 uses the distinct printed form λύσειον for Iakchos, alongside male, female, and twofold. The shared releasing force does not make those neighbouring descriptions definitions of the adjective.
