- revered; worthy of reverence
Meaning
Themis is revered at LXXIX.7, while Hermes’s hymn calls the formidable instrument of the tongue revered among people (XXVIII.10). Reverence can thus attach to a divine person or an effective capacity. The adjective does not itself indicate that an object has undergone a consecration ceremony.
