- associated with many maidens
Meaning
Trieterikos is πολυπάρθενος beside delight in ivy and his own glorious youth (LII.12). The compound places many maidens in his divine company or association. It does not specify a sexual relationship with them, and should not be expanded into one merely from the prefix “many.”
