Hygieia was the goddess/personification of health, cleanliness, & hygiene. Hygieia & her four sisters each performed a facet of Apollo’s art: Hygieia (health, cleanliness, & sanitation); Panacea (universal remedy); Iaso (recuperation from illness); Aceso (the healing process); & Aglaa (beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, & adornment). Hygieia also played an important part in her father’s cult. While her father was more directly associated with healing, she was associated with the prevention of sickness & the continuation of good health. Her name is the source of the word hygiene. Hygieia was imported by the Romans as the goddess Valetudo, the goddess of personal health, but in time she started to be increasingly identified with the ancient Italian goddess of social welfare, Salus.
