Telesphorus (mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Telesphorus (mythology)
In ancient Greek religion, Telesphorus ( ''Telesphoros'') was a son of Asclepius. He frequently accompanied his sister, Hygieia. He was a dwarf whose head was always covered with a cowl hood or cap. He symbolized recovery from illness, as his name means "the accomplisher" or "bringer of completion" in Greek. Representations of him are found mainly in Anatolia and along the Danube. Telesphorus is assumed to have been a Celtic god in origin, who was taken to Anatolia by the Galatians in the 3rd century BC, where he would have become associated with the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius, perhaps in Pergamon (an Asclepian cult center) and spread again to the West due to the rise of the Roman Empire, in particular during the 2nd century AD, from the reign of Hadrian.〔Henri Lavagne, ''Les Dieux de la Gaule romaine'', Luxembourg, 1989.〕 ==References==
