Meaning
Nature makes all things (X.28), Fortune produces abundant possessions for some (LXXII.7), and Boreas makes the aither clear (LXXX.5). Semele's τευξαμένη has the different middle force of obtaining honours from Phersephone (XLIV.6). That latter construction overlaps lexically with obtaining or attaining, not crafting an object; the reported participial alternative does not remove Phersephone's printed name.
