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