HYGIEIA SMALL BUST – GODDESS OF HEALTH In Greek and Roman mythology, Hygieia was the daughter of the god of medicine, Asclepius, and Epione. She was the goddess/personification of health cleanliness and sanitation. Hygieia also played an important part in her father’s cult. While her father was more directly associated with healing, she was associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. Her sisters included Panakeia (Panacea) (Cure-All) and Iaso(Remedy). Hygieia’s name gives us our word “hygiene”. The original marble head, currently in the National Museum in Athens, was found in the Temple of Apollo at Tegea and is probably the work of the 4th century sculptor Skopas.(01-540-B) Details: Condition: New, Handmade in Greece Material: Casting stone Height: 18 cm(7.2 inches) Width: 10 cm(4 inches) Weight: 1.6 kg ********
