Meaning
Mise’s holy plains are wheat-bearing at XLII.8, a cultivated landscape rather than a fiery one. Aphrodite’s plains provide room for golden chariots, while the Moirai’s plain is marked by allotted fate (LV.18; LIX.8). The same landscape noun takes its particular character from these adjoining descriptions.
