- winding in course
Meaning
The Nymphs are σκολιόδρομοι among meadow and fruit-nourishing descriptions (LI.4). Their courses are winding rather than straight. A dictionary comparison with oblique lunar movement does not change the addressees here into the Moon, which the supplied clause does not name.
