Asklepios was the God of Medicine that was worshiped throughout Greece in antiquity. Although he was not one of the most important, he is still a central figure in the archetype of hero-healers. Asclepius is the ideal perception of the thermal power of nature, as it is perceived today by people, which during the "mild" seasons affects the hills and the fresh air, under the gentle glow and heat of the Sun, in the places that gush cool springs, while tall trees around clean the atmosphere. Such was the environment of the places of his worship and this perception was reinforced by the various legends of his birth and origin.
