About Hippocrates
Hippocrates of Kos is often called the father of Western medicine. He taught that illness has natural causes rather than divine ones. A large body of Greek medical writings, the Hippocratic Corpus, was later gathered under his name, although scholars think many of the texts were written by his students and followers.
