- loving frenzied excitement
Meaning
Rhea is φιλοιστρομανές at XIV.3 beside drum and bronze sound. The expanded compound gives particular intensity to frenzied excitement. It remains a distinct formation from φίλοιστρος and should not disappear merely because English can render both with frenzy-loving language.
