Reading edition
The most famous was at Epidaurus, where the Asclepius cult seems to have been especially localized.
[+] The “healing sleep” employed at these temples is described, in a kind of blasphemous parody, in Aristophanes’s Plutus. (Significant passages are quoted in Davis’s Readings in Ancient History, vol. I, pp. 258-261.)
[$] Somewhat as in the various Catholic pilgrimage shrines (e.g. Lourdes) to-day.
