- much-remembered
Meaning
In three invocations the adjective qualifies σπέρμα: the seed identified with Protogonos, with the seed of Eubouleus, and with Lysios (VI.4; XLII.2; L.2). The local force is passive, “much-remembered.” It praises the seed’s remembered standing rather than asserting that the seed itself remembers many things.
