- many-seeded; rich in seed
Meaning
Protogonos is much-seeded when invited to approach, and Physis bears the same description beside swift delivery and seasonal impetus (VI.10; X.19). The seed-language expresses abundant generative capacity. It need not refer to a count of grains or to a list of individually named offspring.
