This book probes the subject of disease and medical techniques within the historical context of ancient Greek and Roman civilization. The author explores the ways in which this ancient era's medical practices influenced the development of disease perception and treatment in the West, tracing its lasting effects on contemporary medical thought and our foundational ideas of disease. Concepts and techniques developed by physicians of the time, such as Hippocrates and Galen, form the basis of Western medical philosophy to this day, prompting us to re-examine their enduring legacy.
