MuIeres rIedicas
en- la antigua Glecia y Roma


En- el-af1o 1892, una sociedad arqnec
|1ogica austriaca organize una expedl
cion al Asia Menor, y -utre las ruir1a
de la antigua ciudad de Tlos,. encontra
ron los expsdicionarios el zocalo de III;
estatua que llevaba Ia siguiente inscriI
ci6n:
"a Antiochis, hija de Diodotos d
Tlos, cuya empiria medica ha sido re
conocida por el consejo y la com lnidae
de la ciudad de Tlos, Sc dedica estt
monumento
A juzgar por los caracteres de 1etrs
y del estilo, la inscription data del prin
cipio del siglo II Y no puede caber du
da de que Sc trata de aquella ;nedica
Antiochis, cuyo recuerdo Sc ha conser
vado por haber Incorporate Galeno va
rias recetas en- las obras suyas. En- las
traducciones fguran estas en- los capf
tulos que tratan 'de la composition &C
los remedies seg11n las diferentes parties
del cuerpo'. Puesto que estos capitulos
eran los mas leidos y estudiados entr,
los aIabes, los maestros de nuestros "a
CultativoS medioevales, es de Supone +
que las recetas de Antiochis quedarian
en- uso durante muchos siglos y quizas
siguen siendolo ahora con alguna ligera
modification.
Por los escritos de Hyginius, Martial,
Soramus y otros sabemos que tanto en-
Grecia como en- Roma abundaron las
medicas, 81 bien en- su mayor1a Sc lini-
taron a dedicarse las enfermedades
propias de la mujer. A Greer Hygi-
MUS, ex1stfa en- Atenas una ley que pro-
hibfa el estudio de la medicina a las
mujeres y los esclavos. Pero una jo-
ven. de nombre Agnodike, logro burlar
esta ley y asistir las lecciones del &C.
1ebre medico Nicrophilus, socorriendo
luego con acierto a muchas enfermas
de su sexo. Al hacerse pdblica esta
transgresion de la ley, el areopago trato
de condenar a la valerosa joven, cuando
las matronas de la ciudad Sc presenta-
ron ante los jueces diciendo1es: mo
sois nuestros esposos, sois nuestros enc
1nigos 81 persists en- la idea de conde-
mar q la que Sc ha sacrifcado por noso-
tras," En- vista de clio los ateaienses
reformation sus leyes, permitiendo el es-
tudio ! la practica de Ia medicina a las
mujeres nacidas libres.
En- Roma las comadronas y obstetri-
cas- nacldas ibres for1naron an gremiJ,
que mas tarde recibo el t1Iulo de No

cripci6n llama ala lrlmera medica e

ca 81 esposo Il epfgrafe de "esposa III

idades de- nladre y esposa no habian
slfr do menoscabo con el ejercicio de
la profession.
