The birth of Hippocrates, in the 8oth Olympiad, or about B.C. 460, may be said to have taken place under singularly happy auspices, occurring, as it did, at a time when the Empire of Literature, Philosophy, and Art in Greece was approaching the zenith of its fame.
In youth he had for his instructors Gorgias the Sophist, Democritus the Physicist, and Herodicus the Gym- nasiarch ; while his father, Heraclides, an Asclepiad of Cos, imparted to his son such medical knowledge as he himself possessed
.... Among the subsequent contempo- raries of Hippocrates were the great philosophers B i8 Socrates, Plato, and ^enophon ; the historians Hero- dotus and Thucydides ; the dramatists ^schylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes ; Pindar, the lyric poet ; Phidias, the sculptor ; Zeuxis, the painter ; and many others, whose names are renowned among posterity and who have immortalised the age in which they lived. Among associations such as these it is per- haps the less to be wondered at that the brilliant genius and powerful intellect of the youthful Hippocrates should have developed apace, and ripened into that penetrating sagacity and clear judgment, which enabled him to free himself from the trammels of ignorance and superstition and to rise like a star in the dim twilight of barbarism.
