	Spring and shrine of Asklepios, the Acropolis, Athens, Greece. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Greco-Roman god of healing, Asklepios was the son of Apollo and the nymph Koronis (born to them in the temple of Apollo in Epidauros) and was taught the art of healing by the centaur Chiron.
		Because it was believed that Asklepios effected cures of the sick in dreams, those patients seeking the god's help first drank and bathed in the waters of his spring and then slept within the temple precincts (called an abaton).
		Asklepios is frequently shown standing with a long wooden staff, around which is entwined a large snake.

		Moreover, placement of Asklepios next to the theater of Dionysus and synchronization of the Asklepieia (a festival of Asklepios) with the proagon to the City Dionysia&emdash;the stage for the presentation of imperial tribute&emdash;wove Asklepios more securely into the fabric of imperial associations overlying the Acropolis.
		The origin of the cult, moreover, is significant: although Asklepios could have been imported from a number of other cities, the cult came from a city of strategic importance to Athens.
		The arrival of Asklepios, one of antiquity's most popular healing deities, thus met the political needs of the Athenian state along with the needs of her sick.

		The prestige and reputation acquired by Asklepios as the major god of healing led to great economic prosperity for his sanctuary which made it possible to implement a large building program in the 4th and 3rd century BC to house his cult in monumental buildings.
		This circular peristyle building was the centre of the chthonic mystery cult of Asklepios and its famous sculptures are attributed to the architect and sculptor Polykleitos who is also considered to be responsible for the theatre at Epidavros, one of the most perfect and the best preserved of the ancient Greek theatres.
		Temples to other deities (Aphrodite, Artemis and Themis) were built around the sanctuary of Asklepios along with buildings to provide services for the hosts of pilgrims and installations for the athletic and music contests (stadium, palaestra, gymnasium, baths, Odeon and theater).

		So the Asklepios lore may go back much further than classical Greece, into the eras before the tales were written down, and also when Goddesses had not yet lost as much of their power and eminence as they had by classical times.
		Graves maintains that Asklepios is none other than the oak tree God, whose genitals (in the shape of mistletoe hanging from the oak) were lopped off by the Druids and sacrificed so that life might continue, for the "juice of its berries passed for oak-sperm, a liquid of great regenerative virtue" [my italics] (176).
		Thus, it seems that the mother and the daughter of Asklepios were none other than the Earth Mother and none other than Athena herself before she became the daughter of Zeus--Athena, who can grant life as well as death through the blood of the Gorgon.

		The success of the cult of Asklepios in antiquity was due to the hero-god's accessibility—although the son of Apollo, he was still human enough to attempt to cancel death.
		A central feature of the cult and the process of healing was known as incubation, during which time the god appeared to the afflicted one in a dream and prescribed a treatment.
		Most sanctuaries of Asklepios had a sacred snake, believed to be Elaphe longissima, a boa constrictor native to southern Europe and known to be harmless to man but which feeds on small mammals.
