- all-producing; of every growth
Meaning
Pan’s παντοφυές immediately precedes “begetter of all” (XI.10). The English “of every growth” highlights his comprehensive relation to living growth; LSJ also supports the active “all-producing.” The adjacent generative title makes that productive interpretation especially pertinent, without requiring a single exclusive rendering.
