The Hippocratic texts and other contemporary medical sources have often been overlooked
in discussions of ancient psychology. They have been considered to be more mechanical
and less detailed than poetic and philosophical representations, as well as later
medical texts such as those of Galen. This book does justice to these early medical
accounts by demonstrating their richness and sophistication, their many connections
with other contemporary cultural products and the indebtedness of later medicine to
their observations. In addition, it reads these sources not only as archaeological
documents but also in the light of methodological discussions that are fundamental
to the histories of psychiatry and psychology. As a result of this approach, the book
will be important for scholars of these disciplines as well as those of Greek literature
and philosophy, strongly advocating the relevance of ancient ideas to modern debates
