- sea-born
Meaning
Aphrodite and the Zephyr breezes share this origin-word (LV.2; LXXXI.1). It states birth or emergence from the sea, not simply residence or travel upon it. The plural breeze-description and singular divine address should remain distinct even though the compound’s force is shared.
