The aim of this book is to make Hippocrates' On Airs, Waters and
Places and the Hippocratic Oath accessible to intermediate students
of Ancient Greek. The running vocabulary and commentary are meant
to provide everything necessary to read each page. Hippocrates' On
Airs, Waters and Places is a great text for intermediate readers.
The simple sentence structure makes it easy to read, while its
subject matter, the impact of climate on disease and character, is
interesting for a number of reasons. The presentation falls roughly
into two halves, the first detailing various environmental factors
that contribute to specific diseases, the second more ethnographic
in its account of the differences between Asians and Europeans as a
function of their environment and customs.
