Английская Википедия:Darrhon
Шаблон:Short description Darrhon or Darron (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a Paeonian[1] god of healing, whose cult was adopted by the ancient Macedonians, as mentioned by Hesychius as a Macedonian Daemon and attested hapax in one inscription of Pella Шаблон:Circa – 150 BC.[2]
Excavations revealed a sanctuary of Darrhon in ancient Pella.[3] It has been argued that while Darrhon (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was initially a minor deity, he was later identified and worshiped as Asclepius.[4]
Etymology
It has been suggested that "Darrhon" is a Macedonian-styled name of Greek participle θαρρῶν tharrhon,[5] meaning "giving courage, making bold". Θάρρων, Tharrhon, is an Eretrian eponym.[6] Alternatively, his name might be derived from the Thracian tribe of Derrones in the north part of the Strymon valley, compare Apollo Derenus in Abdera[7]
