- wand; rod
Meaning
Chthonic Hermes charms all things with a sacred, sleep-giving wand (LVII.8). The dative marks the instrument of his action, while the adjectives explain its effect and character. The wand should not be confused with the band or fillet named by στροφιοῦχος in the other Hermes hymn.
