- increaser; promoter of growth
Meaning
Pan and Zeus are addressed as promoters of growth (XI.11; XV.8). The vocative αὐξητά belongs to the agent noun αὐξητής, not a passive adjective meaning something grown. It makes the gods active contributors to flourishing rather than simply fertile objects themselves.
