Hippocrates (c.460–c.377 BC)
Greek physician generally called "the Father of Medicine" and the probable author of at least some of the Hippocratic Collection, some 60 or 70 books on all aspects of ancient medicine. The authors probably formed a school centered around Hippocrates during his lifetime and continuing after his death.
