Asclepius (Asklepios)

Asclepius (Asklepios) is the god of medicine and healing in ancient Greek mythology. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts, while his daughters Hygieia, Meditrina, Iaso, Aceso, Aglæa, and Panacea (literally, "all-healing") symbolize the forces of cleanliness, medicine, and healing, respectively.
