Asclepius, also known as Aesclepiadae, was a hero and god of medicine in Greek religion and mythology. He was a son of Apollo and the father of Hygieia.
During the 1st century BCE, the Greeks erected a temple in Balagrae, Cyrenaica in worship of him.[1]
Trivia
- Aesclepiadae is a term used to refer to a group of people following Asclepius; in mythology, 'Aesclepiadae' includes all the sons and daughters of Asclepius. Among humans, the term was used of physicians, banding them together as a "clan of Aesclepiadae".[2]
