Griechische Medizin: Hippokrates ...he who desires to practice
surgery must go to war, On the Surgery Hippocrates (ΙπποκρÎ¬της)
(c. 460 BC - c. 377 BC), son of Praxithea (daughter of
Phainarete) and Heraclides, is considered as the Father of
Medicine. According to Mythology from his mother he was a
descendant of Hercules and from his father a descendant of
Asclepius. He had at least 2 sons, Draco and Thessalus and one
daughter). One of his teachers was Herodikos of Selymbria, a
important Greek physician, and another teacher maybe was
Democritus of Abdera (there is a story that he was asked by the
citizens of Abdera to cure Democritus). Many centuries before
Hippocrates, an Egyptian, Imhotep, called "God of Medicine,"
"Prince of Peace," was considered as a god (even by the Greeks
as Imhoutes) and a healer from 2850 BC up to 500 AD in some
places. Hippocrates attempted to demystify healing by
emphasizing on the tangible evidence rather than on spiritual
causes. Hippocrates asks not "Who causes this sickness?" b
