- Raving in the mountains
Meaning
The Kouretes attend the mountain-raving Mother at XXXI.5. The genitive ὀρειμανέος qualifies μητρός, not the attendants themselves. The compound unites setting and ecstatic motion, while its reported alternative ὀρειομανοῦς belongs to the apparatus rather than the adopted line.
