- all-ruling goddess
Meaning
The feminine title addresses Physis and Persephone (X.4; XXIX.10). Persephone’s instance stands beside her fruit-laden maidenhood, joining dominion to fertility. Its relationship to παντοκράτωρ is lexical, but the feminine formation deserves its own access rather than being treated as a printed masculine form.
