- bull-faced or bull-like in appearance
Meaning
Dionysos is ταυρωπόν at XXX.4. The compound directs attention to visible appearance, without specifying only the horns or forehead. Read it beside the hymn's other changing and generative descriptions, but do not turn its broad visual force into a precise assertion of the god's complete bodily form.
