- warding off evils
Meaning
Asklepios is addressed as an evil-warding youth beside growth and blessed fortune at LXVII.5. His protective power belongs to a healing setting, but the compound does not specify a single disease. It describes what the god prevents or averts, not merely the health he possesses himself.
