- To goad into frenzy
Meaning
Athena goads mortal souls with frenzies at XXXII.6. The active participle οἰστροῦσα makes her the agent and souls the affected objects; the verb is stronger than merely being fond of excitement. The apparatus records a typographical οἰστροῖσα, not a separate lexical verb to adopt.
