- loving the thyrsos
Meaning
Silenos loves the thyrsos at LIV.11. The implement is present through this compound, while the line does not supply a separate simplex θύρσος token. Its role is an affinity within the god's festive and Dionysian characterization, not a full description of the object's construction.
