Homeric Hymn to Asclepius
- urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0013.tlg016:1
§ 1 I begin to sing of Asclepius, son of Apollo and healer of sicknesses. In the Dotian plain fair Coronis, daughter of King Phlegyas, bare him, a great joy to men, a soother of cruel pangs. And so hail to you, lord: in my song I make my prayer to thee!
