Current scholarship attributes none of the works of the 'Hippocratic corpus' to him, and the ancient biographical traditions of his life are not only late, but also written for their own promotional purposes. Yet Hippocrates features powerfully in our assumptions about ancient medicine, and our beliefs about what medicine -- and the physician himself -- should be. In both orthodox and alternative medicine, he continues to be a model to be emulated. This book will challenge widespread assumptions about Hippocrates (and, in the process, about the history of medicine in ancient Greece and beyond) and will also explore the creation of modern myths about the ancient world. Why do we continue to use Hippocrates, and how are new myths constructed around his name? How do news stories and the internet contribute to our picture of him? And what can this tell us about wider popular engagements with the classical world today, in memes, 'quotes' and online?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Hippocrates. 600 00 $a Hippocrates $x Influence. 600 00 $a Hippocrates $x In mass media. 650 0 $a Physicians $z Greece $v Biography. 650 0 $a Medicine, Greek and Roman $x In mass media. 650 0 $a Medicine $x Historiography. 651 0 $a Greece $x Sources. $y To 146 B.C. $x Biography $x Sources. 600 07 $a Hippocrates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030023 650 7 $a Biographical sources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832146 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011219 650 7 $a Medicine $x Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014964 650 7 $a Physicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062841 651 7 $a Greece. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208380 648 7 $a To 146 B.C. $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a King, Helen, 1957-. $t Hippocrates now. $d London ; New York, NY : Bloomsbury Academic, 2019. $z 9781350005907 $w (DLC) 2019980524 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214042149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF775B1872D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
