EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient Greek frieze, we witness an intriguing encounter between Hippocrates, the renowned father of Western medicine, and Artaxerxes, King of Persia. The scene, believed to date back to the late 4th or early 3rd century BC, presents a powerful visual representation of the ethical principles that guided Hippocrates' medical practice. Hippocrates, depicted in his traditional long robe and wearing a simple headband, stands firm against the opulent Artaxerxes. The king, dressed in full armor and adorned with jewelry and coins, offers gifts and money to the physician, symbolizing the material wealth and power of the Persian Empire. However, Hippocrates, with a determined expression and outstretched hands, refuses the offer. The inscription below the image reads, "Hippocrates refusing the gifts of Artaxerxes," emphasizing the moral significance of the scene. This poignant image underscores the importance of Hippocrates' unwavering commitment to his profession and his patients, even in the face of temptation and the allure of material wealth. As the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine, Hippocrates is revered for his groundbreaking work in the field of medicine, including his belief in the importance of observation, diagnosis, and the natural healing process. His ethical principles, as outlined in the Hippocratic Oath, continue to shape the medical profession today, making this frieze not only a fascinating glimpse into ancient Greek history but also a testament to the enduring values of the medical community.
