Darrhon

Darrhon or Darron (Δάῤῥων) was a Paeonian 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 c. 200 – 150 BC.

Ἀμφίπολις Δάρρωνι εὐξαμένη ἐπηκόωι. Amphipolis Darrhoni euxamene epekooi. Amphipolis who prayed to benevolent Darrhon.

Excavations revealed a sanctuary of Darrhon in ancient Pella. It has been argued that while Darrhon (Greek:Δάῤῥων) was initially a minor deity, he was later identified and worshiped as Asclepius.

Etymology
It has been suggested that "Darrhon" is a Macedonian-styled name of Greek participle θαρρῶν tharrhon, meaning "giving courage, making bold". Θάρρων, Tharrhon, is an Eretrian eponym. 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
