- Tauropolos
Meaning
Hekate receives the title ταυροπόλον at I.7. Its bull-related shape is recognizable, but the exact force of the title and its cult associations are not settled by splitting the compound into two simple English words. Retaining Tauropolos keeps that uncertainty visible while allowing retrieval of the printed accusative.
