bed-partner

Meaning

The Mother of the Gods is addressed as Kronos's bed-partner at XXVII.12. This is a conjugal relationship expressed through the shared bed, not merely a neighbourly association. Its placement beside saving and favouring language joins the goddess's relationship to Kronos with the present petition.
