#Greek physician

• Acron — A proper name of Greek origin borne by historical or mythological figures, the most notable being Acron of Agrigentum (a 5th-century BC physician-philosopher, contemporary with Empedocles, recognized for his empirical contributions in combating the plague of Athens). In geography, the term can describe a high topographical feature or an ancient city, preserving the Greek structural meaning of prominence or extremity.
• Asclepiads — A name attributed in antiquity to Greek physicians considered descendants or spiritual disciples of Asclepius (the god of medicine). The term can also refer to Asclepiades of Samos, a Hellenistic lyric poet famous for developing special metrical forms later widely used in ancient Roman poetry by Horace.
