Daughter of Cronus and Rhea. It is Demeter that makes the crops grow each year. Sacred to her are livestock and agricultural products, poppy, narcissus and the crane. When her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades, god of the underworld, Demeter’s grief was so great that she neglected the land; no plants grew, and famine devastated the earth. Dismayed at this situation, Zeus demanded from Hades to return her to her mother. Hades agreed, but before he released the girl, he made her eat some pomegranate seeds that would force her to return to him for 4 months each year. In her joy at being reunited with her daughter, Demeter caused the earth to bring bright spring flowers and abundant fruit and grain for the harvest. However, her sorrow returned each fall when Persephone had to go back to the underworld. The desolation of the winter season and the death of vegetation were regarded as the yearly manifestation of Demeter’s grief when her daughter was taken from her. Demeter and Persephone were worshiped in the rites of the Eleusinian mysteries

His parents were god Apollo and Coronis. Apollo entrusted his child’s education to Chiron, a centaur (half man – half horse) and son of Chronus. Chiron educated him in the healing arts. Two of Asclepius’ sons appeared in Homer’s Illiad as physicians in the Greek army. Asclepius is represented as a bearded man, standing, dressed in a long cloak that leaves his breast uncovered. His usual attribute was a staff made from a rough-hewn cypress branch with a single serpent coiled around it. This staff is the true symbol of medicine. The thick staff of cypress represents strength and solidity perhaps in reference to the god or to the unwavering ethic of the physician. The serpents symbolize many things such as wisdom or the renewal of youth or rejuvenescence through the casting off of skin. The Staff of Asclepius was first used as the coat of arms for the Medical Department of the U.S. Army in 1818 and by the Medical Corps in 1856. In 1910, the AMA adopted the Staff of Asclepius as its official insignia. The plant serpent aria has a variety of applications including the promotion of appetite and digestion, the increase of bronchial and intestinal secretions, and as a cardiac stimulant.

The Great Sphinx, in Greek mythology, monster with the head and breasts of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird. Lying crouched on a rock, she accosted all who were about to enter the city of Thebes by asking them a riddle, “What is it that has four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?” If they could not solve the riddle, she killed them. When the hero Oedipus solved the riddle by answering, “Man, who crawls on four limbs as a baby, walks upright on two as an adult, and walks with the aid of a stick in old age,” the sphinx killed herself. For ridding them of this terrible monster, the Thebans made Oedipus their king. In ancient Egypt, sphinxes were statues representing deities, with the body of a lion and the head of some other animal or of man, frequently a likeness of the king. The most famous of all Egyptian sphinxes is the Great Sphinx of Giza, near the pyramids. Dating from around 2500 BC, the Great Sphinx is 20 m (66 ft) H and about 73 m (240 ft) L.
