| Summary: | Hope of healing is not a specific phenomenon of modern society. In ancient Greece, scientific healing approaches, taught at schools for scientific medicine, as well as healing procedures based on religion, co-existed. Latter particularly focused on sleep - the so-called incubation -, and were practiced at temples of the healing god Asclepius. After introductory remarks on the practice of therapeutic sleep at Asclepius temples, the second part deals with the question of what happened with such sanctuaries after the Roman Empire was christianized and how Christians dealt with the healing tradition of incubation. The last part focuses on general results from the historic parts. |
