I love, how Andrew Liptak casually drops the new by Emily Wilson into his SF/F new arrivals in September list. (It's a great list.)

This week's theme is healing. The God of Healing is but there are other gods who share in a subset of his power. Apollon's son famously brought dead people back to life. Deified after his untimely death by Zeus' thunderbolt, he received a cult of his own, the Temples of Asklepios serving as hospitals. Asklepios had children of his own, among them Panacea (Cure-all), and Hygieia (Health).
But he is not the only healing god associated with Apollon.

An older god of healing who appears in the as the Healer of the Gods is . In the Iliad, Paian heals after the latter is injured by and through medicine that produces instant relief. is healed in a similar fashion after ' arrow (thankfully without hydra blood) pierces him.
Paian is later reduced to an epithet of both and his son .
A god that is not usually associated with medicine but has a healing aspect is .
