Why Does Snake Becomes the Medical Symbol

Asclepius is the son of Apollo, who married a human named Coronis. In Greek mythology, Asclepius is known as the god of medicine, renowned for his ability to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life.

In one story, Zeus killed Asclepius with a lightning bolt for disrupting the natural order of the world by resurrecting the dead.

However, in another version, it is depicted that Zeus killed him as punishment for accepting money in exchange for performing a resurrection.
