- gracious; propitious
Meaning
Plouton is asked to arrive gracious to the initiates, and Leto to listen with a gracious heart. The same accusative ending has different agreements: masculine with the arriving god in XVIII.19, neuter with ἦτορ in XXXV.6. The favourable force remains, while the grammar determines whose condition is described.
