The stars of Serpens are entwined with those of Ophiuchus, which is believed to represent Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of health and healing. Its brightest star is named Rasalhague which, appropriately, is Arabic for "Head of the Snake Charmer." And Serpens – the only two-part constellation in the heavens with its head on one side (Serpens Caput) and its tail on the other (Serpens Cauda) – is draped across the front of his body.
