- throne; seat of authority
Meaning
Plouton establishes a throne in the dark region, the Mother occupies the cosmos’ central throne, cries circle Demeter’s throne, and Dike sits at Zeus’ sacred throne. The shared seat-image expresses authority and ordered presence. Its location and possessor differ, so these occurrences should not be assembled into a single literal throne-room.
