Hygieia, known as Hygieia or Hygeia in Greek and Roman mythology, is the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine. She is the goddess of health and cleanliness. Hygieia carries out her father's healing-themed mythological mission with a focus on protection. The etymological root of the word "hygiene" is also synonymous with the goddess's name due to its meaning.
The word "Hygiene" is derived from Hygia and has gradually come into use in our language: Hygia is the goddess of preventive medicine, which we encounter for the first time in history.
Considering that, unlike Western countries, preventive medicine does not hold much meaning in our country—even today—it is clear that preventive medicine was a very advanced concept for preventing epidemics in those times.
