We must discuss Hippocrates. Current scholarship denies him authorship of any of the works in the 'Hippocratic corpus,' and the ancient biographical accounts of his life are both late and written with self-promotional intentions. However, Hippocrates remains a prominent figure in our perceptions of ancient medicine and our ideals regarding what medicine and the physician should be. He serves as a model in both orthodox and alternative medicine.
This book will challenge prevailing assumptions about Hippocrates and, in the process, explore the creation of modern myths about the ancient world. Why do we continue to invoke Hippocrates, and how are new myths constructed around his name? How do news stories and the internet contribute to our portrayal of him? And what can this reveal about broader popular engagements with the classical world today, in memes, 'quotes, and online?
