Contested deletion[edit]
This redirect should not be speedy deleted as an implausible typo or misnomer, because these were the last words of Socrates, cited in Plato's Phaedo (118) and not a typo or misnomer. It has come into the vernacular "a cock to Asclepius" or "a rooster for Asclepius", and variants, e.g.
- Glenn W. Most, A Cock for Asclepius. The Classical Quarterly New Series, Vol. 43, No. 1 (1993), pp. 96-111
- Pamela M. Clark, A Cock to Asclepius. The Classical Review (1952), 2 : pp 146-146
