Telesphorus
Τελεσφόρος
(Τελεσφόρος), that is, " the completing," is the name of a medical divinity who is mentioned now and then in connection with Asclepius. Pausanias (2.11.7) says; " In the sanctuary of Asclepius at Titane sacrifices are offered to Enamerion, to whom a statue is there erected; and, if I am not mistaken, this Enamerion is called at Pergamus Telesphorus, and at Epidaurus Ansius." (Comp. Müller, Anc. Art and its Rem. § 394.)
