Who was Hygieia? She had her own cult already in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE, which has been recognized by the Delphic Oracle; afterwards, it develops into a supra-local cult in Greece and Rome, where it is incorporated into the religious traditions of Asklepios, the god of Medicine. When in 429 and 427 BCE a plague breaks out in Athens, it did not take long before Hygieia and Asklepios were brought into Athens. ow.ly/zGNIV
