		The truth of the tradition that Aesculapius was born in the territory of Epi-daunts, and was not the son of Arsinoe, daughter of Leucippus and born in Messeiiia, was attested by an oracle which was consulted to decide the question.
		According to the other tradition, Aesculapius on one occasion was shut up in the house of Glaucus, whom he was to cure, and while he was standing absorbed in thought, there came a serpent which twined round the staff, and which he killed.
		The serpent, the perpetual symbol of Aesculapius, has given rise to the opinion, that the worship was derived from Egypt, and that Aesculapius was identical with the serpent Cmiph worshipped in Egypt, or with the Phoenician Esmun.

		Aesculapius himself was a mere mortal who ended up being turned into a god and placed among the stars as the constellation Ophiuchus (the serpent-bearer).
		Yes, he was credited with having raised Hippolytus (and perhaps others) from the dead by using the blood of Medusa, which earned him the wrath of Zeus, so Zeus killed him.
		I can find no mention of him doing these things (except raising the dead) in general, and he was never claimed to have healed 'by touch' at all.
