- din; commotion
Meaning
As the armed Curetes advance, commotion and shouting reach heaven at XXXVIII.11. Θόρυβος names the disturbance of their movement, paired with the more explicitly vocal βοή. The noun is an effect of the divine onset, not by itself a label for a particular percussion instrument.
