- causing many groans
Meaning
Daimon is asked to drive away cares of many groans at LXXIII.7. The adjective makes the suffering of those cares audible. The apparatus reports πολύσπορα, “many-seeded,” instead; that alternative changes their characterization and is not an interchangeable spelling of the adopted lament-word.
