[521] 521-25 are probably a later addition, referring forward to 15.110 ff., where Ares hears of his bereavement. βρίηπυοξ, only here, perhaps with heavy voice; cf. “βαρύφθογγος, βαρύβρομος, βαρύκτυπος” (all in the Hom. Hymns). Or “βρι” may mean simply powerful as in “βρι-αρός, ὄ-βρι-μος”: connexion with “βριθύς” etc. is not certain. For the big voice of Ares cf. 5.860.
