- three-born
Meaning
Dionysos is three-born at XXX.2, in a sequence that also calls him first-born and two-natured. The different numerical compounds supply different forms of praise; they should not be forced into one tidy genealogy without further evidence. Three-born is specifically generative language, not a synonym for every threefold description.
