Asclepius

Collection and Interpretation of the Testimonies

by Emma J. Edelstein and Ludwig Edelstein

A two-volume collection of the ancient testimonies on Asclepius in Greek and Latin with English translations, followed by an interpretive study of the god's myth and cult. The Edelsteins cover Epidaurus, incubation, temple medicine and the god's late antique rivalry with Christ. Reissued in 1998, it remains fundamental.
