- fiery
Meaning
Helios, the Stars and the Clouds can all be fiery. In the Clouds’ hymn the description sits among thunder, loud roaring and watery travel (XXI.3), joining fire and moisture in a storm rather than making the clouds ordinary flames. The changing endings follow the gender and number of the figures described.
