Which medical drug is named after the Greek god of dreams?

• Morphine:Morphine is a pain medication of the opiate family which is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. Morphine is used primarily to treat both acute and chronic severe pain. Morphine was first isolated between 1803 and 1805 by Friedrich Sertürner, a German pharmacist. He originally named the substance morphium after the Greek god of dreams, Morpheus, as it has a tendency to cause sleep. Morpheus had the ability to take on the appearance of a mortal in dreams. He was the god who relayed messages from the gods and prophecies of the future.
