- Seer; diviner
Meaning
Herakles and Apollo are each addressed as μάντι at XII.5 and XXXIV.4. With Herakles it stands beside strength and archery; with Apollo it accompanies local and monster-slaying titles. Divinatory capacity is thus shared in the vocabulary, even though the local praise sequences differ.
