[Meaning] of a fierce lion.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κλεωναίου χάρωνος· τοῦ χαροποῦ λέοντος.

Betacode

*klewnai/ou xa/rwnos: tou= xaropou= le/ontos.

Notes

The poetic headword phrase, in the genitive case, is taken to be quoted from Callimachus (Hecale fr. 339 Pfeiffer).
For the Kleonaian (a.k.a. Nemean) lion, tackled by Herakles, see kappa 1732. "Fearsome", xa/rwn, is a more poetic adjective for it than "fierce", xaropo/s, would have been: see LSJ s.v.
