- Property; material goods
Meaning
The Mother is asked to bring peace together with prosperous possessions at XIV.13, while Fortune stands over such goods at LXXII.2 and 10. The repeated pairing makes property one practical aspect of well-being, not the whole meaning of blessing. The epic dative plural κτεάτεσσι belongs to κτέαρ; related κτέανον has its own entry.
