Hippocrates

Over two millennia had to pass before one of the greatest physicians of antiquity and widely accepted as the father of western conventional medicine, Hippocrates was vindicated on his theory that chronic pain are linked to weather conditions.

The Suna and ?nan K?raç Foundation Pera Museum presents the exhibition "Life Is Short, Art Long: The Art of Healing in Byzantium," which takes its name from the famous aphorism by Hippocrates and examines the art and practice of healing in Byzantium from Greco-Roman times to the late Byzantine period.
