I would like to ask about Aphrodite Hymns in Orphic Hymns
Hello, I would like to ask about Aphrodite Hymns in Orphic Hymns !
One of the sentences:
"Or you delight yourself with the dark-eyed Nymphs on the divine earth, As they lightly leap upon the sandy beaches of the sea-shore."
What does dark-eyed mean here? Does it mean that the irises of those nymhps are black? Or does it mean that they are scowled?
Because I saw it in a Chinese translated book, it probably means that Aphrodite was so beautiful that it fascinated the nymhps and made them feel inferior, so they were scowled.
