Headword:
*tauropo/lon
Adler number: tau,165
Translated headword: worshipped at Tauris, drawn by bulls, bull-hunter
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] Artemis, because like a bull she goes around everything, as
Apollodorus [writes];[1] Istros in the third [book] of
Miscellanies [writes] that [she] drove to every land the bull which had been sent against Hippolytos by Poseidon.[2] But others [say] that [she] struck, whence also [they call her]
taurobo/los ["striking bulls"]. And Athena is called Taurobolos[3] in
Andros, for when Anios gave a bull to the sons of Atreus, he bade them, wherever they should leap out of the ship, to found [a temple to] Athena, and thus they would have a good voyage. But he leapt out on
Andros.[4]
