- glancing; star-spangled
Meaning
Ouranos is παναίολος amid a sequence of colour and changing-form epithets (IV.7). The English “all-shifting” stresses movement, but LSJ specifically recognizes “star-spangled” here: the richness of the sky’s visible brilliance is equally important. The printed nominative-form address contrasts with the apparatus’s reported vocative παναίολε.
