Hygieia
Ὑγίεια · Roman 살루스 (Salus)
The goddess of medicine in charge of prevention, not cure.
Daughter of Asclepius: where her father heals disease, she keeps it from striking at all.
She is shown feeding a serpent from a bowl — a design still used today as the sign of the pharmacy.
The heart of this lineage: cure and prevention belonged to different gods from the very start.
