The Odyssey of Homer, with the Hymns, Epigrams, and Battle of the Frogs and Mice/Hymns/Hymn 14

by Homer

XIV. TO ÆSCULAPIUS.

I begin to sing the healer of diseases, Æsculapius, the son of Apollo, whom divine Coronis bore in the Dotian^[1] field, the daughter of king Phlegyas, a great joy to men, an appeaser of evil pangs. And do thou thus hail, O king! but I implore thee in song.
