- beast-roaring
Meaning
Hecate is described through wild-animal sound at I.6. The compound can suggest her own beast-like roaring or the cries that accompany her, and the compact epithet does not decide between these neatly. The surrounding unconquerable appearance makes a formidable presence clear without specifying an actual animal transformation.
