| description | During the IVth century A. D., Asclepius, both celestial and terrestrial, is seen to have taken on the powerful features of Christ for the pagan revival of Julian to stem the spread of Christianity. The fact remains that in the Helios-King and Against the Galilaeans, Asclepius does not play a prominent role. In the first book, the latter is only mentioned in two passages. Among the panegyrists of Julian, Libanios, Himerius and Eunapius, the emperor became the worthy successor of Asclepius present on earth and the son of Helios having for attribute the term σωτήρ, attribute which he himself had granted to the god of medicine. Yet convinced that he had been predestined by Helios and Asclepius and that he had been invested with a mission of a healer, Julian did not inspire to become the savior of souls described in the Gospel of John. |
