The field of medicine, deeply rooted in the principles and teachings of the ancient Greek pioneers, has always been more than just a science. It is an art of healing that intertwines knowledge, morality, and compassion. However, as we examine the application of these age-old principles in the context of modern medicine, we are faced with an uncomfortable question: Are we still upholding the ethical standards set forth by the ancient Greek fathers of medicine, or have we lost sight of them in the pursuit of progress and profit?

In the annals of history, few figures loom as large as Alexander the Great.

In the cradle of Western civilization, ancient Greece, a deep understanding of the human soul and the pursuit of prosperity went hand in hand. In addition to advances in philosophy, politics and the arts, the ancient Greeks showed great interest in matters of emotional and mental health. An interesting aspect of their healing approach was based on love and respect for humans as medicine for ailments of the soul and body.
