    Good video I enjoyed it. I was hoping to learn more about Medea, the queen of Colchis who appears in the myth of Jason and the argonauts and the quest for the golden fleece. Turns out though that she was a real person and we get the word medicine from her name. She was a bit of a sorcerer,mayb

    Could you please do a video on Epione, the wife of Asclepius and the goddess of pain soothing? I can't find very much info on her. Thanks!

      Hi! We don't actually have an article on Epione at the moment and our videos are based on our articles. We're always adding new content, though, so stay tuned. 🙂 Thanks for the recommendation!

    I was hoping you would cover bloodletting. Do you have any information on bloodletting?

      Hi Amanda, we did a video on the Black Death back in July which mentions bloodletting. You can also find more in our article: worldhistory.org/article/1540/medieval-cures-for-the-black-death/ 🙂

    You fail to mentionThe reason they all used 🐍 snakes venom wasn't because it was a symbol !!! it was because snake 🐍 venom was the main medicine for magic and drugs to get high to talk w the gods. This is directly talked about in the ancient Greek on the medical side I urge you to study it

    It’s interesting they believed health problems come from sin. A simile idea is actually in the Bible. Some Jews asked Jesus who sinned for someone to be born blind, him or his parents. So it seems the Jews 2k years ago, may have had a similar idea of where health problems come from.

      Yes, true but there are some serious objections to that view with8n the Bible itself. The Book of Job is an example, as is also the story of Jesus giving sight to the man born blind in John 9.
