Medicine in the ancient Grece

Abstract

In the ancient Greece, until the appearance of the philosophical and medical idea, almost nothing was known about the human’s internal anatomy and physiology. The care of the ills was made using religious methods, with the goal of maintaining the “vital energy”, indispensable to life. The new idea started to claim the need to know the natural essence of man. Since then, texts were written and, after wards, assembled in the “Corpus Hipocratucum”, which has as main values, the ones related to the medical ethic.
