Καὶ τὸν Ἀσκληπιὸν δέ φησιν Ἀπολλόδωρος κατὰ μέν τινας Ἀρσινόης εἶναι υἱόν, κατὰ δὲ ἄλλους Κορωνίδος, λάθρα μὲν Ἀπόλλωνι ξυνελθεῖν βιασθείσης, κυησάσης δὲ καὶ τεκούσης καὶ ἐκθεμένης τὸ βρέφος, τοῦτο δὲ κυνηγέτας τινὰς εὑρηκότας ὑπὸ κυνὸς τρεφόμενον λαβεῖν καὶ κομίσαι λέγει Χείρωνι τῷ Κενταύρῳ, εἶτα ἐκεῖ τραφῆναί τε καὶ ἀσκηθῆναι τὴν ἰατρικὴν ἐπιστήμην, ἐν Τρίκκῃ δὲ πρῶτον καὶ Ἐπιδαύρῳ δοῦναι πεῖραν τῆς τέχνης.
