Asclepius Asclepius Relevant links Hygia Asclepius Album Asclepius in GROUPS ARGONAUTS CALYDONIAN HUNTERS CONSTELLATIONS CHIRONS' DISCIPLES APOLLO'S OFFSPRING Asclepius is the god of healing. His mother dies before he is born When Asclepius was still in the womb, Apollo killed his mother Coronis 2 for having wedded Ischys; and as for the crow who told the god about the wedding, Apollo cursed it and, changing its color from white into black. As Coronis 2 was burning in the funeral pyre, Apollo snatched Asclepius from it and brought him to the wise Centaur Chiron, who brought him up, teaching him the arts of healing and hunting. Others have said that it was Artemis who killed Coronis 2, to punish her for having insulted her brother, and that it was Hermes who snatched the child from the pyre. His art of healing Asclepius, having become a surgeon, and having carried his art to a great pitch, not only prevented some from dying, but even raised up the dead; for he had received from Athena the blood that flowed from the veins of Medusa 1. And while he used the blood that flowed from the veins on the left side for the bane of mankind, he used the blood that flowed from the right side for salvation, and by that means he raised the dead. Those raised from the dead by Asclepius Capaneus, who was killed by Zeus' thunderbolt during the war of the SEVEN AGAINST THEBES, was raised from the dead by Asclepius, and so was the son of King Minos 2 of Crete, Glaucus 4, who had drowned in a jar of honey. Hippolytus 4, son of Theseus, was also raised from the dead by Asclepius, and so was Lycurgus 4, son of Pronax, son of King Talaus of Argos, and King Tyndareus of Sparta. Punished by Zeus But Zeus did not approve of this, and fearing that men might acquire the healing art from him and so come to the rescue of each other, smote Asclepius with a thunderbolt. Consequences of Asclepius' death Grieved at the death of his beloved son, and not being able to raise his hand against his own father, Apollo, in revenge, slew the CYCLOPES, who had fashioned the thunderbolt for Zeus. On account of this deed, Zeus would have hurled Apollo to Tartarus. But as Leto intervened on behalf of her son, Zeus resolved, as a penalty for having destroyed the CYCLOPES, to let Apollo serve as a thrall to a man for a year. And this man came to be King Admetus 1 of Pherae, husband of Alcestis. Hygia, daughter of Asclepius Family Parentage Apollo & Coronis 2 Apollo & Arsinoe 2 [Two versions] Coronis 2 is a daughter of Phlegyas 1, a Boeotian king, or of Azan, the son of Arcas 1. She was in love with Ischys, who was killed by the thunderbolt of Zeus because he lay with Coronis 2. Arsinoe 2 is daughter of Leucippus 2, son of Perieres 1, king of Messenia.
