Relief “Greek scene of healing“.

For the ancient Greeks, the Centaur Chiron is the one who teaches medicine to Asclepius (Esculapio). The cause of healings, and even the resurrections it operates, comes from a single source, the blood of the gorgon that Athena has given him. The myth recalls the sense of restraint that man must demonstrate in his search for knowledge, illustrating a moment in the search for perpetual unity, which risks, in man, of being confused with the pride of believing himself equal to God. There are no gods, the Mackenzil Indians said, there is only medicine.
