Heraclides (physician)
Heracleides (
Aesculapius, the son of Hippocrates I, who lived probably in the fifth century BC. He married a woman named Phaeniarete, or, according to others, Praxithea, by whom he had two sons, Sosander and the renowned ancient physician Hippocrates.[1][2][3][4]
Many historical researchers attribute the authorship of various works to Heracleides of Kos, such as the "Hippocratic Collection," "Prognostics," and parts of the "Aphorisms," among others.
