the Thirty_ (=group who briefly ruled Athens in 403 B.C.). Sokrates is imp. in Greek
philosophy bec. his teaching was a change to focus on _man_. For Post-Sokratics a main
interest was how man should live. Two of Sokrates' students whose writings provide

concept of "ideal forms" & in 335 B.C., began his own "school" named the
Lykeion/Lyceum.

expression of Divine Will." Epicureans believed (Grk word =_ataraxia [=pleasure]_) is the

half_ . Therefore, “True Love” = finding your _other half____ wh/ = your “Soul mate.”
Greek medicine was based on the idea of the body’s 4 _humors_.In late 5th c. B.C.,
Hippokrates founded the 1st known "teaching hospital" on island of _Kos/Cos_ where
doctors were priests of the healing god named _Apollo/Asklepios__. The hospital's body of
medical writings known as the __Hippokratic Corpus_wasn't compiled until 3 centuries
