- loving freedom from grief
Meaning
Dionysos is a delight for mortals, φιλάλυπον, at L.7. The compound joins affection with freedom from distress, but its attachment to the surrounding delight-language makes a perfectly literal English rendering awkward. Preserve the actual φιλάλυπον; φιλάλυπτος is not the printed word.
