Paeëon (Paeeon) was the god of healing. Later writers usually used the name as an epithet of other gods, particularly with Asclepius and Apollo.
The name that appeared in the Iliad was actually the god who healed Ares, when the god of war was wounded by Diomedes during the Trojan War. But in Cnossus, the Linear B inscriptions indicated that Paiawon (Paeëon) was a war god, not a god of healing.
