Podalirius

Podalirius

:"The former butterfly genus "Podalirius" is nowadays included in "Heliconius".In Greek mythology, Podalirius or Podalarius ( _el. Ποδαλείριος) was a son of Asclepius. With Machaon, his brother, he led thirty ships from Thessaly in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks. [Homer. "Iliad", II, 729–733.] Like Machaon, he was a legendary healer. He healed Philoctetes, holder of the bow and arrows of Heracles required to end the war. [Apollodorus. "Epitome", V, 8.]
