"The Sanctuary of Asklepios, god of medicine. I'd rather trust a physician than a god to heal me."

―Kassandra^[src]

The Sanctuary of Asklepios was a temple complex dedicated to Asklepios, the Greek god of healing, located within the Valley of Dreams in Argolis, Greece.

As a complex, the sanctuary housed multiple buildings including the Abaton, the Epidauros Sanctuary and the guesthouse.^[1]

The priests of the sanctuary kept records of all the patients, their ills and their cures. These they inscribed into stone, so "that the glory of Asklepios can be celebrated."^[2]

History

At some point the priestess of Hera, Chrysis, seized the control of the sanctuary and the priests within. While most acquiesced out of fear, some joined her like Pleistos and some protested. Though she allowed the daily life to go on as it had, she forbid collaboration with Hippokrates, considering his methods and ways impious. Chrysis also sought to demolish all mention and memory of the visit of a Spartan woman with an injured baby, going as far as to scratch out most of the stone slab wherein her visit was recorded,^[2] and cut out the tongue of the priest who had treated them the most, Mydon.^[3]

When rumours reached Chrysis about the Spartan misthios Kassandra looking for her mother, she tightened her hold, and had all the priests of the sanctuary swear not to tell her anything, on the pain of death.^[4]
