This original and lively book explores Greek ideas about health and
disease and their influence on Greek thought. Fundamental issues
such as causation and responsibility, purification and pollution,
mind-body relations and gender differences, authority and the
expert and who can challenge them, reality and appearances, good
government, happiness, and good and evil themselves are deeply
implicated. Using the evidence not just from Greek medical theory
and practice but also from epic, lyric, tragedy, historiography,
philosophy, and religion, G. E. R. Lloyd offers the first
comprehensive account of the influence of Greek thought about
health and disease on the Greek imagination.
