Alias Asclepius or Asklepios, and represented as a bearded old man bearing a staff entwined around with a serpent, he is the god of medicine and healing. He learned his leechcraft from a centaur. It is said that he was killed by a thunderbolt because he had violated the order of nature by restoring Hippolytus to life. But another version has it that his death was owing to his good skill: Hades had complained to Zeus that he was preventing mankind from going to the underworld.
