Calliphon and Democedes of Croton in Medical Testimony

1 work

Calliphon and Democedes of Croton are not attested as a writing pair. Democedes of Croton is a late 6th-century BCE ἱατρός. Herodotus places him at the courts of Polycrates of Samos and Darius I. Calliphon is named as his father, a worshipper of Asclepius, not as a writer of medical books.

No medical autograph survives under either name. What this site holds is a short collection of Testimonies.

The pairing on this page is a later heading. There is no joint book and no school founded by the two.
