Aceso or Akeso 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.
