1930 C. G. Osgood tr. G. Boccaccio in Boccaccio on Poetry p. xvii One must bear in mind..that these myths contain more than one single meaning. They may indeed be called ‘polyseme’, that is, of multifold sense [L. Sciendum est his fictionibus non esse tantum unicum intellectum, quin imo dici potest potius polisenum, hoc est moltiplicium sensum].

1932 H. G. Lotspeich Classical Mythol. in Poetry Edmund Spenser 16 Every myth had a meaning, several; it was ‘polyseme’, as Boccaccio put it, of many meanings.
