Samenvatting
Medicine in Homer explores injuries in the great epic poems of Homer from the perspective of contemporary medical professionals. This foundational text describes injuries included in both Odyssey and The Iliad, drawing on connections to neurology, toxicology, and genetics in ancient Greek times. As human anatomy remains unchanged, a careful study of trauma anatomy in Homer provides a unique window into the epics, their composition, and the development of medicine available today.
