| 14101. ANCIENT MEDICINE: MEDICINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT, GREECE & ROME. This paper provides a survey overview and analysis of medicine in three ancient civilizations: Egyptian, Greek, and Roman, with a primary focus on Egyptian medicine and a brief treatment of Greco-Roman medicine. The investigation begins with an overview of ancient Egyptian medicine, which arguably represented the earliest evidence of the development of a naturalistic-based (versus supernatural and/or magical) medicine. The overview of medicine in ancient Greece focuses on the Hippocratic tradition. Finally, the analysis considers the continued evolution of Greek medicine in the Roman Empire, with a special focus on the work of Galen, another "father of medicine" who is generally regarded as the second-greatest (after Hippocrates) physician of antiquity. KEYWORDS: medicine history term paper galen hippocrates. APA Style. 28 pages, 68 footnotes, 21 bibliographic reference. 7,133 words. |
