520    "Medical thinking and observation were radically changed 
       by the ancient Greeks, one of their great legacies to the 
       world. In the fifth century BCE, a Greek doctor put 
       forward his clinical observations of individual men, women,
       and children in a collection of case histories known as 
       the Epidemics. Among his working principles was the famous
       maxim "Do no harm." In The Invention of Medicine, 
       acclaimed historian Robin Lane Fox puts these remarkable 
       works in a wider context and upends our understanding of 
       medical history by establishing that they were written 
       much earlier than previously thought. Lane Fox endorses 
       the ancient Greeks' view that their texts' author, not 
       named, was none other than the father of medicine, the 
       great Hippocrates himself. Lane Fox's argument changes our
       sense of the development of scientific and rational 
       thinking in Western culture, and he explores the 
       consequences for Greek artists, dramatists and the first 
       writers of history. Hippocrates emerges as a key figure in
       the crucial change from an archaic to a classical world."-
