- Remembrance; memory as a capacity
Meaning
The plural μνημοσύνῃσιν at XXVIII.12 stands beside works and the graces of speech among the requested benefits of Hermes. It names acts or capacities of remembering, not several goddesses called Mnemosyne. The common noun therefore deserves its own access point despite sharing the divine name’s spelling.
