- trieteric
Meaning
The time associated with Dionysos's resting is τριετῆρα at LIII.4. This is the distinct -τήρ formation, not an extra occurrence of τριετής. Read it with the verb κοιμίζει and the surrounding festival language: the poetic description of recurring time should not be silently harmonized into a complete calendar.
