'''Asclepius''' was the ancient god of medicine in [[Greek mythology]]. Born a mortal, he was trained as a physician by [[Chiron]], and became so skilled in the art of medicine that he could resurrect the dead. For this arrogance, [[Zeus]] smote him with a thunderbolt. However, [[Apollo]] rescued him from [[Hades]] and made him a god on [[Olympus]] where he became physician to the gods.

Because of his healing powers Asclepius was worshipped all over [[Ancient Greece|Greece]]. His temples were usually built in "healthy" places, such as hills outside of the towns where they would be away from disease or near wells with alleged healing properties.
