Aesculapius Instructs Hygeia

Asclepius (Aesculapius) is the God of Medicine and Healing in ancient Greek religion. Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts; his daughters are Hygieia (Hygiene), Iaso (Medicine), Aceso (Healing), Aglaea (Healthy Glow), and Panacea (Universal Remedy). The rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff, remains a symbol of medicine today (not to be confused with the caduceus, or staff with two snakes). Aesculapius stands next to Hygeia as she engraves a plate with an illustration from a book; on the right is a man illustrating a text; in the background a physician consults with a patient at bedside.
