Medicine: The Greeks, from the gods to Galen
"Many foundations of modern Western medicine lie in Classical 
Greece, from about 800 B.C.E. to about 200 C.E. During this period, Greek medicine departed from the divine and mystical and moved toward observation and logical reasoning. These ideas spread throughout the Mediterranean world and as far east as India, and their influence has remained strong in the West to this day." - from the website of the American National Library of Medicine. <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/greek/index.html>
