Meaning
The Prayer's Day, Helios, the Moon, Pan, Phersephone, Apollo and Hephaistos all receive light-bringing language. The φαεσφόρος and φωσφόρος formations are gathered for lexical access while every printed form remains visible. The bearer can be a named deity or Day itself, and Phersephone's relation to the Horai gives her use a distinct local setting (XXIX.9).
