Hippocrates

Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 BCE - c. 370 BCE), nicknamed the "Father of Medicine", was a Koan Greek physician who pioneered many current practices of modern medicine, including the Hippocratic Oath most modern physicians adopt. He was also a proponent of humorism, applying this belief into medicine.

Around 430 BCE, the philosopher Empedocles wrote a letter to Hippocrates, praising him on utilizing the four humors in his medical treatments. He then informed Hippocrates of another element besides water, earth, air, and fire: void. Though he did not know what the humor pertaining to the void is, he informed Hippocrates that he would know when he saw the space between the stars.Empedocles (tale)
