Iatromantis In the classical period, Aeschylus uses the word to refer to Apollo[3] and to Asclepius, Apollo's son.[4]
According to
pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides as an iatromantis. This identification has been described by Oxford academic Mitchell Miller as "fascinating" but also as "very difficult to assess as a truth claim".[6]
