HIPPOCRATES.
HIPPOCRATES.
the most celebrated medical writer of ancient or modern times, whose fame has probably been partly caused by the writings and actions of all the phy- sicians of the same name having been attributed to one individual, instead of several. This hypothesis is incapable of being proved to be correct; but it may be safely asserted, that it is quite impossible that all the stories told of Hippocrates (even if they are to be believed at all) can relate to the same in- dividual, and also that one man should have written all the works that now form part of the Hippocratic collection. More will be said on this subject in the article on Hippocrates II., but first it will be advisable to notice briefly the other physicians of this name, and as several of them belonged to the family of the Asclepiadae, the fol- lowing genealogical table will enable the reader to understand more clearly their relationship:—

Hippocrates of Cos II. or Hippokrates of Kos (c. 460 BC–c. 370 BC, Greek: Ἱπποκράτης) was an ancient Greek physician who lived in the Age of Pericles and is one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is often referred to as " The Father of Medicine" for his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic school of medicine which revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, separating the field from the other disciplines (notably theurgy and philosophy) and making a profession of practicing medicine. The school summed up the medical knowledge of previous schools and defined moral codes and good habits for physicians.
The Hippocratic Corpus, or the collection of works commonly associated with Hippocrates, was the medium through which Hippocratic philosophy transmitted the above. It is largely responsible for Hippocrates'
