\u201cThe Hope Hygieia” Roman, Imperial period, 130-161 CE Marble

Hygieia, goddess of health, is feeding a snake from a shallow offering dish. In antiquity, the skin-shedding reptile was associated with rebirth and healing, and it is still used today as a symbol of the medical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Goddess has always been here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know? In modern times, the Rod of Asclepius a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius (Hygieia’s father) is the predominant symbol for medicine and health care<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gods and the goddesses, the myths, the archetypes, and our deeper relationship with animals and Mother Earth, although subjugated by Dominator culture have nonetheless survived throughout our story.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Statue of Hygieia, \u201cThe Hope Hygieia” Roman, Imperial period, 130-161 CE Marble Hygieia, goddess of health, is feeding a snake from a shallow offering dish. In antiquity, the skin-shedding reptile was associated with rebirth and healing, and it is still used today as a symbol of the medical profession. Although originally Greek, the goddess’s worship-and that of her healing father Asklepios was embraced by the Romans as well. This Roman statue reproduces a lost Greek bronze of the 4th century BCE, one of the earliest monumental representations of the goddess, which may have once stood with a statue of Asklepios on the south slope of the Acropolis in Athens. #HistoryTok<\/a> #AncientHistory<\/a> #archaeology<\/a> #snakesoftiktok<\/a> #ArtemisExpert<\/a> <\/p> \u266c original sound – TwistedReality<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote>
