Question

In one version of this figure’s birth, his mother abandons him on Mount Tittheion where he is breastfed by Aresthanas’ goat. (-5[1])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 deity. Apollo was forced to serve King Admetus for a year after avenging this man’s death by killing the Cyclopes. Zeus killed this figure with thunderbolts (10[3])because of this figure’s knowledge of resurrection, but later deified him. For 10 points, name this Greek god of medicine (10[1])with a namesake symbol of a serpent-entwined rod. ■END■
