- Releasing; delivering
Meaning
At XV.2 λυτήριον agrees with μαρτυρίην, the testimony laid before Zeus together with prayer. It does not describe Zeus directly. The object of release remains unstated, so “absolving” is a possible interpretive emphasis rather than evidence for a specified juridical procedure.
