Medius (physician)

Medius (physician)

Medius (Greek: Μήδιος; 4th-3rd century BC) a Greek physician who was a pupil of Chrysippus of Cnidos,[1] and who lived therefore probably in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. Galen says he was held in good repute among the Greeks,[2] and quotes him apparently as a respectable authority on an anatomical question.[3] Like the other pupils of Chrysippus, he entirely abstained from bloodletting.[3] He was, perhaps, the brother of Cretoxena, the mother of Erasistratus,[4] but could not have been much older.
