Classic Mythology Daimon: Epidotes
Epidotes was the spirit (daimon) of purification who assuaged the wrath of Zeus Hikesios (Hicesius), the god of suppliants. He was an attendant of Apollon at Delphi where he presided over the rites of purification used to remove the stain of pollution from a murderer.

Epidotes was also an epithet of Hypnos, the god of sleep. In this sense he may have been regarded as the purifying spirit which lulled the avenging Erinys plaguing the murderer to sleep.
