In Greek mythology, Epione (Greek: Ἠπιόνη) was the goddess of soothing of pain.
Description
She was the wife of Asclepius and mother of Panacea, the goddess of medicines, and Hygieia, the goddess of health.
Epione was probably also considered the mother of the famous physicians Machaon and Podalirius, who are mentioned in the Iliad of Homer.
Her name means "soothing".
