Akeso (Greek “akesis”) is the goddess of healing wounds and curing illnesses. She represents the process of healing, not the cure itself. Akeso is the daughter of Epione the goddess of soothing of pain and Asklepios the god of medicine. I could find no images of Akeso though I read that she is often depicted with her father. Perhaps she is the surging of the ocean or the breeze upon the air – movement.
This invocation of Akeso is for JH.
