Human: Zeus dominated the sky as the supreme ruler of the Olympian gods after overthrowing his father, Cronus. He then drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades to decide who would take over their father's throne. Zeus emerged victorious from the draw and became the ultimate authority among the gods, controlling both the sky and rain. His powerful thunderbolt was his primary weapon, which he used to strike down those who disrespected or defied him, especially liars and oathbreakers. He was married to Hera but constantly pushed her patience due to his numerous affairs. Asclepius, a legendary hero and god of medicine in ancient Greek mythology, embodied the healing aspect of medical arts. Asclepius's daughters - Hygieia, Iaso, Aceso, Aglæa/Ægle, and Panacea - represented different aspects of health, with Hygieia signifying cleanliness, Iaso representing recovery from illness, Aceso embodying the healing process, Aglæa/Ægle symbolizing good health, and Panacea representing universal remedy.
