terrifying in appearance

Meaning

The Eumenides bear the printed plural φοβερῶπες twice in LXX.8,10. Their face or look is terrifying, continuing the hymn's threatening visual imagery. The plural itself is retained for access because a secure singular headword has not been established here; an invented nominative would hide rather than resolve that uncertainty.
