This book features a comparative study of Democedes of Croton and Udjahorresnet of Saïs, both "primary physicians" active in the 6th century B.C. at the Achaemenid court of Darius the Great. With a synoptic look, the complex figure of the scholar-physician between Egypt, Persia, Greece and the Hellenic West is reconstructed. The power of the arts for the care of the sick, in the integrity of body and spirit, is realized not without paying attention to the protection of the Living in its entirety. The volume, a useful tool for reconsidering early surgery, including the Hippocratic one, allows us to deepen the 'cultural' relations between temple medicine and 'rational' medicine, both in the Egyptian tradition of the Houses of Life and in the Hellenic Pythagoreanism ancient and of the sanctuaries of Asclepius.
