ASKLIPIEIA OF PELOPONNESE

,

Through a rich bibliography, where the travel, historical and literary texts of the ancients and the modern bibliography are organically linked with the results of archaeological excavations, the abundant photographic and iconographic material which is the product of personal research, a successful attempt is made to travel to the sacred religious centers of the Peloponnese and to the local health deities.

Asklipieia of Peloponnese not only fill a gap in the Greek bibliography, but offer a new view and a clear reflection on an old medical-historical topic, which nowadays is starting to be “rediscovered” on a global scale.
