Asclepius is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, revered as the god of medicine and healing. He is often depicted holding a staff with a serpent coiled around it, a symbol that represents healing and rejuvenation. Asclepius was believed to have the ability to cure illnesses and even raise the dead, and his cult included healing temples known as Asclepiadae, where people sought cures for their ailments. His legacy continues today, influencing the symbol of medicine used in various healthcare professions.
Asclepius is the son of Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, music, and prophecy, and Coronis, a mortal woman. According to mythology, Coronis was killed by Apollo for infidelity, but he saved Asclepius from her womb before her death. Asclepius became the god of medicine and healing, revered for his ability to bring the dead back to life.

Zeus killed Asclepius because he was snatching the dead heading towards the under world to heal them. Hades complained to zeus that he was being robbed by asclepius and so Zeus threw a lighting bolt toward him and it killed both Asclepius and the patient he was tending. I got this from the book heroes,gods, and monsters of the Greek myths by Bernard evslin. I hope this helped. :)
