- sleep-filled; bringing abundant sleep
Meaning
Night delights in stillness called πολύυπνος (III.4). The English presents that stillness as full of sleep; LSJ emphasizes its capacity to bestow sound sleep. Both fit the surrounding quiet and repose, whereas the adjective does not count separate dreams.
