- fruitful; productive
Meaning
Helios, Pan, and Dionysus receive the epithet κάρπιμος. Their surrounding descriptions concern light, growth, or flourishing produce, so fruitfulness is an active benefit of their presence. Its application to several gods shows a shared productive quality, not that every bearer is the same agricultural deity.
