The Mythology |
|
| Serpens is the snake found on the caduceus, the
medical symbol that shows 2 snakes wrapped around a winged
staff. The story goes that Aesculapius, Hippocrates
grandfather, killed a snake. Another snake came over to the
dead one, put some herbs on the dead snakes head and brought him
back to life. From that, Aesculapius learned the healing power
of herbs. |
