Asklepios as a Mythological Figure Between Deification and Demonization
Öz
Greek mythology encloses whole of the sacred story that was told about
the paganism as adopted in the Hellenic world. Although they formed the
worldviews of human beings in ancient times as much as the Olympian gods
did, figures described as heroes in the mythical narrative about these gods
and their adventures have not been discussed adequately in academic
works. One of these is definitely Asklepios. Sources spoke of him as a man
but later he became a deity with the help of the cults and temples built in
his name. As the cult was deeply embraced by the Greco-Roman world,
with the Christian faith’s spreading in the same region, it was demonized
and gradually disappeared from the scene. This study presents a twofold
reading on the basis of the historical facts. The first one will deal with the
process of Asklepios’s deification while the second one will enlighten the
way towards his demonization.
