Synopsis
The Sacred Disease is a text written by Hippocrates that explores the topic of epilepsy. In this text, Hippocrates attempts to dispel the belief that epilepsy is a sacred disease caused by supernatural forces. Instead, he argues that epilepsy is a natural disease that should be treated like any other illness. This text is significant because it represents one of the earliest attempts to provide a rational explanation for a medical condition. Read in English, unabridged.
