=== Death and immortality===
Asclepius once started bringing back to life the dead people like [[Tyndareus]], [[Capaneus]], [[Glaucus (son of Minos)|Glaucus]], [[Hymen (god)|Hymenaeus]], [[Lycurgus (mythology)|Lycurgus]] and others.<ref>[[Stesichorus]], fr. 147 from Sextus Empricicus, ''Against the Professors'')</ref> Others say he brought [[Hippolytus (mythology)|Hippolytus]] back from the dead on Artemis's request, and accepted gold for it,<ref>Pindar, ''Pythian Ode'' 3; [[Plato]], ''Republic'' 408b; Philodemus, ''On Piety'' (trans. Campbell, Vol.); Greek Lyric IV; Stesichorus, fr. 147 and [[Cinesias (poet)|Cinesias]], fr. 774)</ref> or maybe he did it for love.<ref>[[Clement of Alexandria]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=D0ovQcQVV9oC&dq=asclepius+loved+Hippolytus&pg=PA45 ''Clementina Homilia'', V, 15].</ref> It is the only mention of Asclepius resurrecting the dead.{{Clarification|reason=This statement contradicts the first sentence. Was this in fact the only mention of him resurrecting the dead, or not?|date=February 2024}} In all other accounts he is said to use his skills simply as a physician.

However, Hades accused Asclepius of stealing his subjects and complained to his brother [[Zeus]] about it.<ref>Diodorus Siculus, 4.71.3</ref> According to others, Zeus was afraid that Asclepius would teach the art of resurrection to other humans as well.<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], 3.121</ref> Concerning the fate of Asclepius, [[Ovid]] writes that "the youth [Asclepius] blasted by ancestral bolts [of Zeus] soars from earth [rising as the constellation Ophiuchus] and flings his hands coiled with double snakes."<ref>[[Ovid]], ''Fasti 6'', 735–762 (Translation by Boyle, A. J. & Woodard, R. D.)</ref> Later accounts read "The Serpent-Holder. Many astronomers have imagined that he is Aesculapius [Asclepius], whom Jupiter [Zeus], for the sake of Apollo, put among the stars."<ref>Pseudo-Hyginus, ''Astronomica 2.14''</ref> Asclepius was killed by Zeus, and by [[Apollo]]'s request, was subsequently immortalized as a star.<ref>Emma and Ludwig Edelstein, ''Asclepius: Collection and Interpretation of the Testimonies, Volume 1, Page 51</ref><ref>[[Sabine G. MacCormack]] ''Concise Encyclopedia of Greek and Roman Mythology'' p.47</ref><ref>Theony Condos, ''Star Myths of the Greeks and Romans'', p.141</ref><!--Can someone find a sourced information on how Asclepius being a god can fit in here since the intro lists him as one?-->
