Machaon (mythology)
He and his brother led an army from Tricca in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks.[1] Machaon fathered Nicomachus and Gorgasus by Anticleia, daughter of Diocles of Pharae.[5] According to Diogenes Laertius's Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, Hermippus, in his book On Aristotle, places Machaon as the son of Asclepius, father of Nicomachus, and ancestor of Aristotle.[8] Machaon (or his brother) healed Philoctetes, Telephus and Menelaus, after he sustained an arrow at the hand of Pandarus, during the war.He was also supposed to possess herbs which were bestowed to his father Asclepius by Chiron, the centaur.
