the ancient Greeks thought that illness and disease were caused by disfavor of the gods

That's somewhat correct:

In primitive times, the common belief was that disease and illness were caused by evil spirits and demons. Treatment was directed toward eliminating the evil

spirits. As civilizations developed, changes occurred as people began to study the human body and make observations about how it functions.
