Exegesis

The comparative hon tropon {ὃν τρόπον | hon tro-pon} ‘as’ frames the maternal image of ornis {ὄρνις | ór-nis} ‘hen’ that episunagei {ἐπισυνάγει | e-pi-sy-ná-gei} ‘gathers’ its nossia {νοσσία | nos-sí-a} ‘chicks’ under pterygas {πτέρυγας | pté-ry-gas} ‘wings’, culminating in the soft rebuke kai ouk ethelesate {καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε | kaì ouk ē-the-lē-sa-te} ‘and you were not willing’, which underscores willful rejection.
