Bliquez’s article, “Greek and Roman Medicine,” moves away from writing analysis, on which most medicine historian’s focus, and instead discusses archaeology. “For the most part, scholarship on…

Although the belief in an irrational nature, a Platonic doctrine which stated that intangible forces outside of the natural world could have an effect on earthly beings had been popular in Greece, Galen and his followers revealed unease about…
