- female playmate
Meaning
Persephone is the Horai’s play-companion at XXIX.9. The genitive identifies her partners, and the feminine noun preserves the form actually used of her. The apparatus reports συμπλέκτειρα, a different formation with an uncertain interweaving association, not a second adopted meaning of play.
