HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, Joseph B. Martin Conference Center, The Rotunda Room, 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, Boston, MA 02115
HYGEIA -- Health, Illness, Treatment from Homer to Galen: an archaeological lecture
The Museum of Cycladic Art, with the kind sponsorship of "Fondation Sante" invites you to an archaeological lecture by Prof. Nicholas Stampolidis and Yorgos Tassoulas, which will be kindly hosted by the Department of Cell Biology of Harvard Medical School.
>From the dawn of our existence, humanity has strived to improve all aspects of living conditions. Achieving and maintaining good health, seeking to understand the causes of diseases and, mainly, searching for solutions to fight and treat illnesses have been a primary concern and interest throughout all periods of civilization.
The idea of Health (Hygeia) was personified as a wonderful goddess, usually accompanied by a snake, the symbol of therapy. The Museum of Cycladic Art, following its mission to promote Ancient Greek culture is organizing a major exhibition on the universal subject of health and the evolution of ancient medical practices. The evolution will feature the transition from magico-religious healing practices to rational, scientific medicine.
The lecture will be accompanied by visual presentations, including images of ancient artefacts, ranging from statues to vases to surgical equipment loaned from 41 international museums, such as the Louvre, the British Museum, the National Archeological Museum of Athens, the Musei Capitolini, among others. Entrance is free.
