Greek Island Myths

Kos : Hippocrates and Asclepius
About Hippocrates and his new approach to medicine and his break with the tradition of treating the sick in the Temple of Asclepius, where his father was a Physician priest. One of six Greek islands booklets.
In this booklet Jill Dudley writes about Hippocrates who was born on Kos, whose father was a temple priest-physician serving Asclepius, god of healing. She describes Hippocrates' pioneering approach to medicine, and his break with the traditional belief that sickness was an infliction imposed by the gods. It is as the back cover of the booklet says: all you need to know about the island's myths, legends and its gods.
