The going of light.] Thus, prob., the period of time in which daylight goes and comes again : τοῦδʼ αὐτοῦ λυκάβαντος (within a day's space, ere the sun shall set again) Od. 19.306. (This interpretation involves bracketing Od. 14.161-162 (=Od. 19.306-307); but is obviously superior to the interpretation a year.)
