HIPPOCRATES of Cos Island, physician, flourishes.

Λ ANATOMY:  Disected and vivisected animals, assuming humans to be same.
(See Diogenes 440, Diocles 350, Praxagoras 320)

Λ MEDICINE:  1st to say disease is not caused by gods or demons.  "I do not believe that body is ever befouled by a god."  Disease is caused by undigested residues (produced by bad diet), which excrete vapors which pass into body.
Mental disorders have natural causes and should be treated as disease.  Observed and recorded case histories, emphasized diet & climate.  Says body is an organism, and must be understood as a whole.
Picks up 4 humors theory of Empedocles: Health results from harmony of the humors: blood, bile, black bile, phlegm.
Refused to perform or assist in abortions.
