Antiphanes of Delos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antiphanes of Delos was a physician. He has been quoted by Caelius Aurelianus[1] and Galen,[2] and must therefore have lived some time in or before the second century after Christ. He is men­tioned by Clement of Alexandria[3] as having said, that the sole cause of diseases in man was the too great variety of his food.
