- sharing a hearth
Meaning
Demeter is called the hearth-fellow of Bromios at XL.10. The shared hearth gives their association the language of household companionship, rather than merely placing two divine names beside one another. The epithet can evoke a common dwelling or hearth; this verse alone does not identify a particular historical temple shared by their worshippers.
