- bull-bellowing
Meaning
Protogonos is bull-bellowing at VI.3. The epithet is acoustic: it makes a bull's powerful voice audible, unlike the horn, forehead and appearance compounds used elsewhere. Those related images illuminate its register without making them synonymous descriptions of one anatomical feature.
