- Of the whole cosmos
Meaning
Apollo mixes a παγκόσμιος share for humans through harmony at XXXIV.20. The adjective qualifies μοῖραν, the allotted portion, not the people themselves. It gives the share a relation to the whole ordered world while leaving its precise composition to the surrounding seasonal and musical imagery.
