Read this student essay written about Greek mythology.

1. Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, was responsible for healing in ancient mythology. 2. His daughter, Hygieia, was the goddess of health and cleanliness. 3. Tradition states that Asclepius angered Hades, god of the underworld, by saving others from death. 4. Hades asked Zeus to use his mighty lightning bolt to stop Asclepius.

Where should the quotation below be placed to further develop the paragraph?

A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286).

before sentence 1
before sentence 2
before sentence 3
before sentence 4

The correct answer is that the quotation below should be placed before sentence 3. This would make the quotation go right after sentence 1 and 2 which talks about the Greek God Asclepius and how he was considered the god of medicine and how her daughter was considered the goddess of health. Therefore, the quotation helps to develop further this characterization of Asclepius by mentioning how he is still a symbol of today's medicine.
