| | Epidauria - Asclepius |
 | | The son of Apollo and the late Coronis (daughter of King Phlegyas of Thessaly), Asclepius's early medical education was completed at the exclusive private academy run by Chiron the centaur. |
 | | Asclepius is survived by his father Apollo, grandfather Zeus, aunt Artemis, wife Epione, and seven children: his five daughters Aceso, Iaso, Panacea, Aglaea, and Hygieia, and his two sons, Podalirius and Machaon, both of whom are distinguished veterans of the Trojan War. |
 | | The story of Asclepius's life is shrouded in mystery and contradictory accounts. |
