fire-bright

Meaning

The appended Ares wheels a fire-bright circle among celestial constellations (LXXXVIII.6). The adjective qualifies the circle, not a weapon in the core Ares hymn. Its celestial setting belongs specifically to this appended text and should not be transferred unmarked into hymn LXV.
