- branch; bough
Meaning
Heracles brandishes a branch in his hand while being asked to drive away destructive afflictions at XII.15. The noun names the object actually printed; calling it his club would add a more specific identification than κλάδος supplies. The adjacent missile imagery should not replace this separate implement.
