How to use "Epicene" in context?
Epicene is an adjective meaning "matching the essence of an object, person, or quality." Originally coined in the early 17th century, epicene was used to describe a type of figure who represented the divine in art, while remaining ageless and invariable. John Milton, a prolific writer in the English language, used the term in "Paradise Lost" to describe the "forme of Beute" of the fallen angel Lucifer.
