Question

In one version of this figure’s birth, his mother abandons him on Mount Tittheion where he is breastfed by Aresthanas’ goat. This figure was originally named Hepius before taking the name of a blind king of Epidaurus, which would become the center of this god’s worship. In Roman tradition, this deity is associated with the constellation Ophiuchus due to his affinity for (15[1])(*) snakes, which would be released in temples dedicated to this (-5[1])deity. (10[1]-5[1])Apollo was forced to serve King Admetus for a year after avenging this man’s death (10[1])by killing the Cyclopes. (10[1])Zeus killed this figure with thunderbolts because of this figure’s knowledge of resurrection, but later deified him. For 10 points, name this Greek god of medicine with a namesake (10[1])symbol (10[1])of a serpent-entwined rod. ■END■
