The son of Apollo and Coronis, this doctor was so good that eventually he could raise the dead. When Hippolytus had died from being dragged behind a chariot, this great doctor brought him back to life. He was killed after that by a thunderbolt from Zeus either because he had violated the natural order of things by doing so, or because Hades had asked Zeus to kill him as he disliked having souls stolen from him. (And you never know...first Hippolytus, then everyone!)
