- bull-horned
Meaning
The Moon (IX.2) and Dionysos (LII.2) are both bull-horned. Horns are the specific shared image; the contexts remain different invocations. The epithet can therefore connect their visual language without proving that the two addressees are identical or that every bull compound has the same force.
