Aceso or Akeso (Ancient Greek: Ἀκεσώ, romanized: Akesó, lit. 'healing one'[1]) was the Greek goddess of well-being and the healing process worshipped in Athens and Epidauros.[2]
Family
[edit]Aceso was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, sister of Iaso, Hygieia, Panacea, and Aegle.[3]
Mythology
[edit]
Unlike her sister Panacea (Cure-All), she represented the process of curing rather than the cure itself.[4] Her male counterpart was Acesis (Akesis).[5] In Greek sculptural reliefs, Aceso appears alongside her father Asclepius and sisters Hygeia, Panacea and Iaso.
