- slayer of Tityos
Meaning
Apollo is addressed as slayer of Tityos at XXXIV.1. The compound identifies a particular victorious deed, unlike a general title such as mighty or archer. The hymn invokes the deed without narrating its circumstances, so those circumstances should not be supplied from an uncited mythological account.
