The symbol featuring two snakes wrapped around it is known as the Rod of Asclepius. It is associated with healing and medicine, often used to represent the medical profession. The single serpent on a staff is linked to Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, and contrasts with the caduceus, which features two snakes and is sometimes mistakenly used in medical contexts.

Why do logos of pharmacies have snakes on them?

there are two symbols associated with medicine with snakes on them. 1: rod of Asclepius: it is a pole with a single snake wrapped around it. it is a ancient greek symbol associated with astrology and with healing the sick through medicine. 2: Caduceus: it is a pole with wings at the top with two snakes wrapped around it. It is the wand of Hermes. although this is historically incorrect it is believed to have become associated with medicine because of its link with alchemy (hermes being the god of alchemy).

Why is 4 Hermes' symbols?

There are many vague stories about Hermes because he only appeared briefly on the few times he was visible. 1. Certainly his main symbol is the Caduceus, his shepherding staff which has spread wings at the top and two entwined snakes wrapped around the shaft. You can see this symbol on the cover of "Hermes the Olympian" The book by David Rosser. 2. A second symbol was the Helmet of Invisibility he took from Hades as his own. 3. A third symbol was the winged sandals given to him by Zeus to help carry out his duties as a messenger. 4. The fourth symbol of Hermes is a pile of stones which helps a shepherd or a traveler find his way in the wilderness. He is such a helpful God he tries to stop people from getting lost.
