An older god of healing who appears in the #Iliad as the Healer of the Gods is #Paian. In the Iliad, Paian heals #Ares after the latter is injured by #Diomedes and #Athena through medicine that produces instant relief. #Hades is healed in a similar fashion after #Herakles' arrow (thankfully without hydra blood) pierces him.
Paian is later reduced to an epithet of both #Apollon and his son #Asklepios.
A god that is not usually associated with medicine but has a healing aspect is #Dionysos.3/?

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology every Saturday!
Baby #Dionysos is born from the thigh of his father #Zeus, a goddess helping him as a midwife, possibly #Hera or #Eileithyia.
Many of the other gods watch the scene, like #Pan right above and #Hermes right below.
#MerryChristmasEve to those who celebrate. May the joyful spirit of #Dionysos be with you 🍷#mythology #AncMed @mythology @antiquidons #antiquidons #GreekMythology #GreekRomanArt
