così, per molte civiltà asiatiche, il cobra ( naja naja ) è animale sacro, perché protesse il buddah dal solleone, con il suo collo dilatato a formare una sorta di parasole, per le civiltà centro-americane il serpente quetzacoatl, ricoperto di piume come un uccello, era un dio, e per gli antichi greci e romani, la serpe era simbolo di saggezza e sapienza e simulacro dell’arte della medicina, tanto che la nota elaphe longissima porta il pittoresco ed evocativo nome di colubro di esculapio.
so, for many asian civilizations, the cobra ( naja naja ) is a sacred animal, because it protected the buddha during the dog-days, with its neck enlarged to form a sort of a parasol; for the central american civilizations, the serpent quetzacoatl, covered by feathers like a bird, was a divinity and for the old greeks and romans, the snake was symbol of wisdom and of knowledge and also simulacrum of the art of the medicine, so much that the well known elaphe longissima has the picturesque and evocative name of aesculapian snake.
