assassiyun:ASSASSIN’S CREED: ORIGINS ➳ ASKLEPIEIONDedicated to Asklepios, the first doctor-demigod in Greek mythology, Asklepieions were healing temples devoted to promoting healthy lifestyles with an emphasis on one’s spiritual needs. Asklepios himself was said to have been such a skilled physician that he was able to raise the dead, causing many of his followers to flock to his temples for physical and spiritual healing. Preliminary treatment for admission into the Asklepieions was called Katharsis, or purification, which entailed a series of cleansing baths and a special cleansing diet which lasted several days. Asklepieions were also home to future physicians such as Hippokrates of Kos, known as the “Father of Medicine.” -- source link
