Well, I'm at a loss. I checked everything I could think of - Ovid's Fasti, Lucian's Alexander the False Profit / Glycon, Pliny's Natural History, Alexander the Great's being fathered by a serpent, Hercules strangling a snake in a crib, Asclepius, Ophiuchus, the caduceus, Virgil's Aeneid... and I can't find anything about a double-headed snake. :?
