Asklepios was the main healing deity of the Classical Antiquity. After his gradual establishing, his cult expanded throughout the Greek world especially in the 5th century BC, when Asklepios reached also Athens. Around 420 BC, two sanctuaries of his (sc. Asklepieia) were founded there. Such sanctuaries were places of both the worship and therapy. The first one was located in the port of Pireus, the second one on the south slope of the Acropolis. The latter functioned as a centre of the healing cult almost until the end of the 5th century AD. Sometime in the 1st half of the 6th century a Christian basilica was built over the area of the earlier buildings of Asklepieion.
阿斯克勒庇俄斯是古典时代的主要 healing 神祇。在他逐渐确立之后，他的崇拜在整个希腊世界传播开来，尤其是在公元前5世纪，当时阿斯克勒庇俄斯也传到了雅典。公元前420年左右，他的两座神庙（即阿斯克勒庇俄斯神庙）在那里建立。这样的神庙既是崇拜场所也是治疗场所。第一座位于比雷埃夫斯港，第二座位于雅典卫城南坡。后者几乎一直作为 healing 崇拜的中心，直到公元5世纪末。在6世纪上半叶的某个时候，一座基督教巴西利卡式教堂建在了阿斯克勒庇俄斯神庙早期建筑的区域之上。
