Clothed in a fawnskin

Meaning

Dionysos is νεβριδοστόλος at LII.10, beside mountain-roaming and the annual circuit. The compound identifies his clothing, not the act of killing a fawn. The edition prints a nominative against the reported vocative νεβριδοστόλε; both describe the god rather than a separate wearer.
