Hygieia

“In the classical mythology, the goddess of Health- the daughter of Aesculapius. She was worshipped at Athens, Corinth, Argos, and other important cities, and in works of art is usually represented as a blooming virgin, with a snake, the symbol of health, which drinks from a cup held in her hand.” — Chambers, 1881
