- daughter
Meaning
The noun states specific divine relationships: Persephone to Zeus, Hestia to Kronos, the Hours to Themis and Zeus, and several collective companies to named parents. The syncopated θύγατρες in the Muses hymn means the same as the longer plural. A shared father or mother connects the local figures without making all daughters one interchangeable collective.
