[4] χοροί, ‘dancing lawns;’ for Eos must be supposed to have a train of nymphs, symbolising perhaps the quickglancing rays of light. The plural ἀντολαί (cp. “ἀπὸ ἡλίου ἀνατολέων” Hdt.4. 8) no doubt contains an allusion to a phenomenon that could not have escaped notice, namely, that the sun rises at different points on the horizon according to the change of season. Cp. the expression “δύσιές τε καὶ ἀντολαί” quoted above from Aratus.
