- savage; untamed
Meaning
Herakles has pursued and subdued savage kinds of creatures for mortals at XII.7. The adjective describes the beings he acts upon, not the human petitioners or their initiation. The useful contrast is between threatening untamed life and the protection achieved by the god’s exertion.
