Archaeological
Museum, Athens. 360
B.C.
She was the daughter
of Asclepios, the God
of medicine. She was
worshipped as the
Goddess of Health.
Her worship probably
started in the 4th
century at Epidauros
in association with
the great temple to
Asclepios that was
bringing thousands of
infirm people to that
city for medical
assistance. The
beautiful marble head
from which this
reproduction was made
has a divine
sweetness and is
thought to have been
the work of Skopas,
one of the three
greatest sculptors of
the 4th century B.C.
It probably belonged
to a statue which
stood in the temple
of Athena Alea at
Tegea in the
Peleponnese.
