The God of Healing and Medicine

Snakes have a bad reputation today, but in ancient Greece, they were symbols of healing and medicine. When a snake sheds its skin and emerges brand new, this was viewed as an act of rebirth. The fact that a snake could bite its tail, forming a circle, was seen as a sign of eternity and immortality.
