Aceso (Ancient Greek: Ἀκεσώ) was the Greek goddess of the healing process.[1]
Family[]
Aceso was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, sister of Iaso, Hygieia, Panacea, and Aegle.[2]
Mythology[]
Unlike her sister Panacea (Cure-All), she represented the process of a curing rather than the cure itself. Her male counterpart was Acesis (Akesis).[3] In Greek sculptural reliefs, Aceso appears alongside her father Asclepius and sisters Hygeia, Panacea and Iaso.
