"Hippocratic Lives and Legends" examines the ideal of the ancient physician and processes of biographical fiction that shaped the legend of Hippocrates. Focusing on three stories in particular - how Hippocrates cured the plague, Hippocrates' detection of King Perdiccas' lovesickness, and Hippocrates' refusal to serve Artaxerxes, King of Perisa - J.R. Pinault traces the development of the legends surrounding Hippocrates from their Hellenistic origins to the end of antiquity and into the Islamic world.
