- Newly initiated; newly shown
Meaning
Ouranos is asked to bring a pure life to μύστῃ νεοφάντῃ at IV.9. The pairing with “initiate,” supported by the lexical treatment of this passage, gives the word a ritual sense rather than merely “newly visible.” The English “newly-shown” keeps the form’s presentation-language but needs this orientation for a reader.
