Darrhon

Darrhon or Darron (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was a Paeonian[1] god of healing, whose cult was adopted by the ancient Macedonians, as mentioned by Hesychius as Macedonian Daemon and attested hapax in one inscription of Pella c. 200-150 BC.[2]

Ἀμφίπολις Δάρρωνι εὐξαμένη ἐπηκόωι. Amphipolis Darrhoni euxamene epekooi. Amphipolis[3] who prayed to benevolent Darrhon.

It has been argued that while Darrhon (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was initially a minor deity, he was later identified and worshiped as Asclepius. [4]

gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.
