 | | The mother of Asclepius, Coronis, was a mortal, the daughter of Phlegyas, a king of Thessaly. | | | Invalids also came to the shrines of Asclepius to find cures for their ailments (in the same fashion pilgrims visit Lourdes today.) The process of healing was known as incubation. | | | It is also said that Hippocrates was a descendant of Asclepius. |

| | 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. | | | And this man came to be King Admetus 1 of Pherae, husband of Alcestis. | | | Now, despite the rumours concerning the death of Asclepius, he remained a living god, which shows that men know very little about life and death, and take both very lightly, often wasting the former and fearing the latter without properly investigating any of them. |
