- fruit-giving
Meaning
The Hours please Zeus and the fruit-giving mother at XLIII.9 in the context of Persephone’s return. The feminine giver-title qualifies “mother,” locally pointing to Demeter. It describes her beneficial provision rather than naming the fruits or prescribing a harvest offering.
