In Greek mythology, Aesclepius, son of Apollo, the god of healing, was a famous physician. His mother, Coronis, a princess of Thessaly, died when he was an infant. Apollo entrusted the child's education to Chiron a centaur, who taught Aesclepius the healing arts. Aesclepius, when grown, became so skilled in surgery and the use of medicinal plants that he could even restore the dead to life. Hades, ruler of the dead, became alarmed at this and complained to Zeus, who killed Aesclepius with a thunderbolt. Among the children of Aesclepius the best known are his daughters Hygeia and Panacea.

Great gift for physician or medical student.
