This volume centers on dreams in Greek medicine
from the fifth-century B.C.E. Hippocratic Regimen down
to the modern era. Medicine is here defined in a wider
sense than just formal medical praxis, and includes
non-formal medical healing methods such as folk
pharmacopeia, religion, 'magical' methods (e.g.,
amulets, exorcisms, and spells), and home remedies. This
volume examines how in Greek culture dreams have played
an integral part in formal and non-formal means of
healing.The papers are organized into three major
diachronic periods. The first group focuses on the
classical Greek through late Roman Greek periods. Topics
include dreams in the Hippocratic corpus; the cult of
the god Asclepius and its healing centers, with their
incubation and miracle dream-cures; dreams in the
writings of Galen and other medical writers of the Roman
Empire; and medical dreams in popular oneirocritic
texts, especially the second-century C.E. dreambook by
Artemidorus of Daldis, the most noted professional dream
interpreter of antiquity. The second group of papers
looks to the Christian Byzantine era, when dream
incubation and dream healings were practised at churches
and shrines, carried out by living and dead saints. Also
discussed are dreams as a medical tool used by
physicians in their hospital praxis and in the practical
medical texts (iatrosophia) that they and laypeople
consulted for the healing of disease. The final papers
deal with dreams and healing in Greece from the Turkish
period of Greece down to the current day in the Greek
islands. The concluding chapter brings the book a full
circle by discussing how modern psychotherapists and
psychologists use Ascelpian dream-rituals on pilgrimages
to Greece.
