The '''Priests of Asklepios''' were priests who served the [[Greece|Greek]] god of healing, [[Asklepios]], and especially the ones doing the god's work in his [[Sanctuary of Asklepios|sanctuary]] in [[Argolis]] during the 5th century BCE.

==History==
The priests took in and raised orphans on occasion. One of these was [[Chrysis]], who grew up into a wise and knowledgeable priestess of [[Hera]] in their care.<ref name="Written in Stone">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[Written in Stone]]</ref> However, she was approached by [[Cult of Kosmos|masked people]] whose ideas she found more appealing, and begun to fulfill their goals using the priests of Asklepios.<ref name="Heart for a Head">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[A Heart for a Head]]</ref>

The priests also had dealings with [[Hippokrates]], though differences in their views drove them apart.<ref name="First Do No Harm">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[First Do No Harm]]</ref> <ref name="Written in Stone" />

Around 448 BCE, a [[Sparta]]n [[Myrrine|mother]] sought the help of the priests for her badly-injured [[Alexios|baby]]. The priests did what they could, bathed and fed her and did whatever they could think of for the baby, but in the end the baby was deemed simply too injured to survive.<ref name="Written in Stone" /> The woman was told to leave the baby's fate to the gods, and after saying goodbye to the child, she left him at the [[Altar of Apollo Maleatas]], whence Chrysis took him under her wing.<ref name="Speak No Evil">''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'' – [[Speak No Evil]]</ref>

The priests attempted to return the baby's blanket to the woman, but she refused it.<ref name="Written in Stone" />

Following that incident, the priest who had the most closely interacted with the Spartan woman and her baby, [[Mydon]], talked often about it, to whoever would listen. Until Chrysis made him cut out his own tongue to prove his loyalty, and to prevent the story from reaching ears it shouldn't.<ref name="Speak No Evil" />

Mydon cutting out his tongue made other priests bow down to Chrysis out of fear, while others, like [[Pleistos]], fully embraced her and the Cult of Kosmos.<ref name="Written in Stone" />

During the [[Peloponnesian War]] Chrysis warned the priests not to talk to the "[[Ikaros|Eagle]]-bearing [[Mercenary|''misthios'']]" [[Kassandra]], on the pain of death.
