Hippocrates

Historical Figure

Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician who lived circa 450–380 BCE and is associated with the Hippocratic Corpus, a collection of early Ancient Greek medical works, although most of the writings were not authored by him but attributed to him by convention. He established the School of Kos, where he taught medicine. A primary scholarly debate concerns authorship of the Hippocratic Corpus.
