According to Google,
The ancient Greeks saw epilepsy as a supernatural phenomenon, the holy sickness. To their way of thinking, only a god could throw a person to the ground, deprive him of his senses, cause convulsions, and afterwards bring him back to life, apparently quite unaffected. Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived around 450 BC argued against this belief by claiming that the illness had quite natural causes. He was also the first to localize its origin to the brain.
