Definition
The Roman god of medicine, healing, and medical knowledge; son of Apollo.
Etymology
From Latin Aesculapius, derived from Greek Asklepios. The god was worshipped in ancient temples called Asklepieia, which functioned as early hospitals.
Kelly Says
Aesculapius is why we still use snakes as medical symbols—his staff features snakes twined around it, possibly because ancient peoples noticed that snake venom in small doses had medicinal properties.
