Aceso or Akeso (Template:Langx[1]) was the Greek goddess of well-being and the healing process worshipped in Athens and Epidauros.[2]

Mythology

Aceso depicted with her father, Asclepios, and her siblings

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.
