Asclepius

Asclepius is a hero and god of medicine in ancient Greek religion and mythology. He is the son of Apollo and Coronis, or Arsinoe, or of Apollo alone. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts; his daughters, the "Asclepiades", are: Hygieia ("Health, Healthiness"), Iaso (from ἴασις "healing, recovering, recuperation", the goddess of recuperation from illness), Aceso (from ἄκεσις "healing", the goddess of the healing process), Aegle (the goddess of good health) and Panacea (the goddess of universal remedy). He has several sons as well. He shared with Apollo the epithet Paean ("the Healer"). The rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff, (similar to the caduceus) remains a symbol of medicine today. Those physicians and attendants who served this god were known as the Therapeutae of Asclepius.
However, in world Asclepius has made no physical appearances but temples to him are filled with some of the best healers around and are generally very willing to help any travellers who need it. The party first saw a temple to him in the town of Lymphydos, in Southern Heliotyme. This seems to be due to many travellers being in trouble after traversing the Stymphalian Swamp, or many adventurers investigating mountains in the area.
