- Heart-gladdening; of blessed spirit
Meaning
At XIX.21 ὀλβιόθυμον qualifies the life requested from Zeus. The lexical interpretation is active, a life that gladdens the heart; the supplied English instead emphasizes a life possessing blessed spirit. Both connect well-being and inward experience, but they differ in whether that life produces or embodies the favourable condition.
