There is but one case of this in mythology.

It was believed that when Asclepius a son of Apollo and later the Greek god of medicine, was mortal, he had brought back to life many who had died. Consequently, the myth goes on to say, Hades brought this to Zeus; and Zeus in indignation as he feared lest men might gradually contrive to escape death altogether, slew Asclepius with his thunderbolt.
