Hippocrates knew that it was a physical disease of the brain, and not a sacred disease as other of his contemporaries called it, meaning it was something directly from God. His assessment was very accurate.
Hippocrates rejects the notion that epilepsy comes from the gods by arguing that it is a natural disease with physical causes rather than a supernatural phenomenon. He emphasizes that epilepsy, like other illnesses, can be understood through observation and rational inquiry, rather than attributing it to divine punishment or influence. By grounding his understanding of the condition in naturalistic explanations, Hippocrates seeks to promote a more scientific approach to medicine. This perspective laid the foundation for future medical practices that prioritize empirical evidence over mythological interpretations.

Hippocrates, often referred to as the "Father of Medicine," made significant contributions to the understanding of epilepsy in ancient times. He proposed that epilepsy was not a divine affliction but rather a medical condition with natural causes, which paved the way for more rational approaches to treatment. His observations emphasized the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing the condition, laying the groundwork for future medical inquiry into epilepsy. While his treatments were limited by the medical knowledge of his time, Hippocrates' work helped shift perceptions of the disorder toward a more scientific understanding.
Hippocrates. He saw some of his people freaking out, and becoing unaware of their actions then not remembering what they had done. And that people thought that they were possessed by demons and spirits.
Though it isn't very certain as to what he discovered, it is said that Hippocrates was the first person to believe that diseases were caused naturally and NOT by the gods or superstition. It has also been said that he was the first physician to discover the symptoms for both pneumonia and childhood epilepsy. Hope that helps. :] it should
