Aceso or Akeso ( Ancient Greek: Ἀκεσώ, romanized: Akesó, lit. 'healing one' [1]) was the Greek goddess of well-being and the healing process worshipped in Athens and Epidauros. [2]
Aceso was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, sister of Iaso, Hygieia, Panacea, and Aegle. [3]
Unlike her sister Panacea (Cure-All), she represented the process of curing rather than the cure itself. [4] Her male counterpart was Acesis (Akesis). [5] In Greek sculptural reliefs, Aceso appears alongside her father Asclepius and sisters Hygeia, Panacea and Iaso.
