War-producing — πολεμητόκος

Meaning

Athena is πολεμητόκος in the line calling her male and female (XXXII.10). The compound presents her as bringing forth war, without deciding a male or female reproductive metaphor. The verse prints πολεμητόκε; the apparatus labels its adopted side πολεμήτοκε and reports πολεματόκε and πολεμοτόκε. Those are differences of formation and accent, not merely one accent variant, and none alone settles the gendered interpretation.
