- Praxidike; accomplisher of justice
Meaning
Persephone is addressed as Praxidike at XXIX.5, immediately before lovely hair and her relationship to Deo. The compound can be understood through the accomplishing or exacting of justice. The local naming remains an address to Persephone, not a reason to insert a separate figure into the sentence.
