Hygeia, Asclepius, and the Ancient Greek Deities of Healing

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Why do you think the Greeks had so many different gods presiding over specific parts of medicine and healing?

[@Davlavi]

I imagine because they recognised health was so important.

In my hometown Cyrene, Libya we have small temple for Asclepius in the uptown of the city, while the downtown have temples for Apollo, Artemis, Hades .. etc. Temple of Zeus of course has to be special and we have one of largest temples ever constructed by man for Zeus!

We all want something or someone to comfort us during painful situations. Depending on what the situation was we knew who was able to make things better, so these were sorted out by need.

If these myths were true,then Asclepius would have been immortal

Too much Ancient Greece, perhaps 😁

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Hi! If you go through our older videos, we focus on other topics, but right now we're focusing on Greek mythology.
