Gods of Health

Asclepius in ancient Greek mythology is the god of healing. He is the son of Apollo and the nymph Coronis. According to Apollodorus, Asclepius is the son of Apollo and Arsinoe, the great-granddaughter of Perseus.

Hygieia, in ancient Greek mythology (Roman equivalent – Salus), is the daughter of Asclepius. She is the goddess of health, cleanliness, and hygiene (and later of the Moon), playing an important role in her father's cult. While her father is more directly associated with healing, she is linked more with disease prevention and maintaining good health.

Panacea (from Greek: "all-healing"; figuratively, panacea means a remedy for everything, a solution to a problem) in ancient Greek mythology is the daughter of Asclepius and Salus (or Epione). She is the goddess of healing and medicine and embodies the treatment of ailments with herbs.
