- delighting in drums
Meaning
The Mother delights in drums at XXVII.11. The compound expresses enjoyment, whereas τυμπανόδουπος stresses resounding noise. That difference matters when the goddess is invited to the rite: the sound is presented as pleasing to her, not merely as something heard nearby.
