With the efforts of Krafft Ebbing and co-workers, paraphilia and paraphilic disorders now occupy an important niche in medicine.

Thereafter, medicine developed through Roman and Byzantium times to finally influence European medicine and later the rest of the Western world. History of medicine ref

Abstract:

The history of medicine in the Roman world has frequently been viewed from the perspective of the Elder Pliny (ca. AD 70), who described an invasion of incompetent, worthless charlatans from Greece and beyond. This extreme viewpoint was not shared by many of the inhabitants of Italy and the Western provinces, who welcomed these outsiders. This paper looks at the reasons why Greek-speaking doctors migrated westwards, and, through the writings of their most famous representative, Galen of Pergamum (127–216), how they became integrated into a Latin society.

During the Renaissance, refreshed interest in cruel plant structure influenced a more exploratory approach to sports-connected harms.

Abstract The history of the scientific description and conceptualisation of the condition named “hydrocephalus” goes back to Graeco-Roman antiquity. The present article provides an extensive examination of the ancient Greek and Latin texts on the topic, including the only extant medical papyrus dealing with it. A thorough investigation of these primary sources allows us to expand our knowledge of this disorder throughout history and how its nosological conception has varied over time.

The poet, referring to the Greek myth or the history, tried to find the patterns and the symbols that make it possible to understand the history of his nation, its past and present situation, and his own life and fate.

It became very popular, especially with the wealthy class of Roman society. This food changed history at least once – when it became the tool for the murder of Emperor Claudius.

Abstract A number of ancient philosophers showed a keen interest in understanding whether moral development and the acquisition of virtue is in any way affected by the material constitution of human bodies. Moral education and socialisation were conceived of as having a significant impact on the resulting behaviours, while individual natures, thanks to their special physiological characteristics, were frequently seen as constantly interacting with acquired traits, eventually determining individual characters.

Because the majority of Byzantines were Orthodox Christians, they were all referred to as Romans, regardless of ethnic origin. During the Turkish rule, the Romans were given the name Rum which means Pontic, and it was used to describe all Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman period, regardless of ethnicity. Until Greec

The states on the territory of Georgia were part of the Classical antiquity ecumene. Accordingly, both Iberia and Colchis had close trade-economic and cultural relations with the Roman Empire, from where the deities popular in the empire spread to the territory of Georgia. Among them, a special place is occupied by the ancient god of victory, Nike (Ancient Greek: Νίκη). The name Nike is believed to date back to the pre- Greek period. In Greek mythology, Nike appears as a companion of Zeus and Athena. In Greek art, the deity is mainly depicted with symbols of victory – wings, a crown and a palm

Early interest in emotions prevalent across classical genres, such as shame, anger, pity, envy/jealousy, and erôs (erotic love, desire), has more recently expanded to include more peripheral emotions such as forgiveness, remorse, and disgust.

The relative emphasis on “biological” or “psychological” formulations in our understanding of “mental” disorders has varied at different periods in history. The early traditions of Western medicine, as represented by ancient Greek and Roman physicians, recognised that mental disturbance could be produced by physical disorders. The famous 17th century neurologist Thomas Willis, who coined the term “neurology”, believed in a neurological basis of psychiatric disorder. This opinion was explicitly stated in the mid-19th century text on mental disorders by Griesinger [1]. In fact, in die latter hal
