Podalirius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Podalirius (Gr. Ποδαλείριος / Podaleírios) was a son of Asclepius.
With Machaon, his brother, he led thirty ships from Thessaly in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks (Iliad, II, 729–733). Like Machaon, he was a legendary healer. He healed Philoctetes, holder of the bow and arrows of Heracles required to end the war (Apollodorus, Epitome, V, 8).
