Poem 16

HYMN TO ASCLEPIUS

THERE are no data for determining the place of composition, but the antiquity of the hymn is proved by the citation of 1-3 in the scholia on Pind. Pyth.iii. 14.

The most recent discussion of Asclepius is to be found in Miss Harrison's Prolegomena p. 341 f. For earlier literature see Roscher Lex. and Pauly-Wissowa Real-Encycl. s.v.
