"Daughter of the Healing God, Aeclepiadae; fair and just Hygiea, you who prevents sickness, who grants us good health. You hold back the snakes that plague us. Their poison cannot taint us. Their fangs cannot bite us. All venom turns to sweet honey in sight of you. We honor you divine one."

―Inscription on Hygieia's statue.
