Asclepius was the son of the sun god Apollo and a princess named Koronis. Instead of being raised by his parents, Asclepius’s caregiver was a centaur. The centaur taught him how to practice medicine and Asclepius got so good that he could bring people back from the dead! If Zeus hadn’t intervened and stopped Asclepius from bringing back the dead we might all be immortals today!
Epidaurus was an ancient healing place. It was a beautiful place in nature that let people who had been injured in war or had gotten sick to escape from the city and heal. Epidaurus was dedicated to Asclepios. Asclepios was the god of healing and medicine. He was not as famous as Zeus or Athena, but he was still very important. The patients believed that Asclepios would visit them at night while they were sleeping in the form of a snake! If Asclepios visited them they would wake up healed!
