- keep away; ward off
Meaning
The Kouretes are asked to keep dangers away from sea-wandering mortals at XXXVIII.5. The verb’s object is danger, while the people are those from whom it is warded. Their maritime circumstances make the appeal practically protective, rather than an unspecified request to repel all change.
