* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey:'' The Eagle Bearer has to deal with some in the Temple of Apollo. Since this is just before Hippocrates has made it big, the snakes are used as medical aid by... ''licking'' the injuries out of people. Things have gone wrong as some have taken over a bathhouse, and the Eagle Bearer is asked to get them out, preferably without killing them.

The association of snakes with healing is probably also tied with the association of snakes with regeneration and rebirth. The snake shedding its skin was seen as a phoenix-like ability to grant itself new life, a form of regenerative immortality. Combine this with their grace, their beauty, and their venom, and they become emblematic of possessing power over both life and death, and thus were the center of a lot of mystery cults and esoteric worship.

The Staff of Asclepius is [[SadlyMythtaken often confused, particularly in the United States, with the Caduceus]] - that symbol actually has two snakes entwined around a rod and facing each other, with a pair of wings attached to the rod. The Caduceus is a symbol of Hermes, the Messenger, Greek god of commerce and communication, and is more properly associated with those spheres of influence. That usually doesn't stop medical firms in the states from using the Cadaceus anyway. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caduceus_as_a_symbol_of_medicine That Other Wiki]] has more on that.
