- guide toward good
Meaning
Helios is the guide of the reverent toward good things at VIII.8. The genitive καλῶν identifies what he guides them toward, while the dative names those helped. His force against the irreverent in the same line makes the guidance selective, not an unqualified promise that every traveller receives a favourable outcome.
