Centaurs, Amazons, Medusa

This book talks about the symptoms of diseases prominently featured in the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus, employing the symbolic representations of the horse and the opheus. Through this lens, Mythology and Asclepius draw attention to the vulnerabilities, passions, and distortions within the suffering human soul. Exploring the ancient art of “Etrict,” as termed by Hippocrates for medical science, the narrative unfolds by deciphering these symbols. Ultimately, it advocates for self-healing through a profound understanding of these symbolic elements.
