Greek Medicine: From the Heroic to the Hellenistic Age A Source Book

Greek Medicine: From the Heroic to the Hellenistic Age A Source Book edited by James Longrigg
English | March 25, 1998 | ISBN: 0415920876 | EPUB | 256 pages | 1.8 MB

The Greeks were the first to use rational systems of medicine, based upon belief in natural causation, rather than magical and religious elements, which resulted in a new conception of disease, accounting for causes and symptoms of illness. "Greek Medicine" places ancient Greek medicine, from Homer to the Alexandrians, within its historical and intellectual context by presenting a selection of source material in translation.

The book provides a chronological account on the most important aspects of ancient medicine, and includes chapters on specific areas of medicine, such as gynecology, dietetics, pharmacology and surgery.
