Quartigod elder son of Asclepius by Epione; the canonical Iliadic physician-warrior of the Achaean contingent at Troy. Healed Menelaus's arrow-wound in Iliad 4.193-219 — the foundational physician-scene of Greek-medical literature. Killed at Troy (variant: by Eurypylus per Quintus Smyrnaeus 6, or by Penthesilea per Apollodorus Epit. 5.1). Buried at Gerenia in Pylian Messenia; Pausanias 3.26.9 records the continuing imperial-period hero-cult. Father of Nicomachus and Gorgasus, founders of the Pharae-Asclepieion.
