What was asclepius roman name?
Title: "Ancient Kemetian and Greek Gods of Medicine: Healing and Symbolism" -Asclepius (or Asclepios) is a figure from Greek mythology, known as the god of medicine and healing. He was often depicted with a staff with a snake coiled around it, which has become a symbol of medicine even today (the Rod of Asclepius). Asclepius's cult centers, called Asclepions, were places of healing and pilgrimage where people sought both physical and spiritual healing. Ophiuchus (often spelled Ophiucus) is a constellation located around the celestial equator. In Greek mythology, Ophiuchus represents Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing. The constellation is usually depicted as a man holding a snake, symbolizing the staff of Asclepius, which is a symbol of medicine. Despite its prominence in mythology and astronomy, Ophiuchus is not one of the traditional 12 zodiac constellations used in astrology, which is based on a system developed by ancient Babylonians.

Why did Zeus kill Asclepius?
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. :)
