- fire-coursing
Meaning
Helios and the Stars traverse their courses with fire (VIII.11; VII.9). The compound brings motion and luminosity together. It should not be confused with πυρίβρομος, which concerns fiery noise and appears as a separate adopted reading where this motion-compound is reported in the apparatus.
