Asclepius had his healing rod with the snake around it, Hermes had a rod with two snakes around it, Zeus had his lightning rod and Eros just had a bow.

I thought Zeus was holding lightning. I can't see a rod and it isn't mentioned anywhere.

Asclepius, of course. He had a staff with snakes intertwining all around that bitch.

Yeah, after the first episode I told my wife it was a shame it would get cancelled.
