Medicine in Homer de Eric Altschuler

Medicine in Homer

Editat de Eric Altschuler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2025
Medicine in Homer explores injuries in the great epic poems of Homer from the perspective of contemporary medical professionals. With a foundation of text describing those injuries included in both Odyssey and The Iliad, this text will draw connections to neurology, toxicology and genetics in ancient Greek times. As human anatomy remains unchanged, a careful study of trauma anatomy in Homer provides a unique window into the epics, their composition and into the development of medicine as is available today.

  • Discusses the war injuries and care in Homer's epics through an anatomical and medical point of view
  • Includes clearly labelled drawings and illustrations
  • Discusses the implications of studying medicine in Homer
