- all-wise
Meaning
Selene and Physis are addressed as all-wise, the former amid descriptions of her celestial course, the latter beside giving and sustaining (IX.10; X.16). Wisdom is the praised capacity, rather than merely visual brightness. Sharing the epithet does not erase the different activities emphasized in each hymn.
