- green-fruited
Meaning
Demeter and Bacchos produce fresh or green fruit, while Rhea nourishes creatures as green-fruited. At XXIX.13 the adjective qualifies shoots through which Phersephone reveals her sacred body. The bearer therefore varies: sometimes the deity, sometimes the visible growth associated with her.
