Bust of Hippocrates(2nd century B.C.) - National Museum, Athens - Hippocrates, a Greek physician (circa 460 B.C. to 377 B.C.) is traditionally revered as the father of medicine. Few details of his life are known to us. It seems that he was the son of a physician and that he traveled widely in Greece and Asia Minor, teaching and practicing his art of medicine. The Hippocratic Collection of writing is generally attributed to him but it is more likely that it constituted a library of the medical school at Kos where he taught. That collection deals with clinical subjects, anatomy, diseases of women and the famous Hippocratic Oath which is sworn to by modern physicians.
