Healing Arts: Medicine in History, Culture and the Arts

Welcome to Healing Arts, I’m your host, Eve Elliot. Did you know the ancient Egyptians performed surgery? Or that the oracle of Delphi was hallucinating due to noxious gases? I’ll explore topics on the history of medicine, how medical terminology developed and influenced our language, and explore the close connection between medicine and the Greek and Roman pantheon., and of course feature famous people in history, literature and art that were touched by illnesses they barely understood or knew how to cure. If you enjoy healing and the arts, then let's jump in!Eve Elliot
