Hippocrates, often referred to as the "Father of Medicine," was greatly influenced by earlier figures in medicine and philosophy, particularly the pre-Socratic philosopher Pythagoras and the physician Alcmaeon of Croton. Pythagoras's emphasis on the connection between health, mathematics, and harmony likely shaped Hippocratic thought. Additionally, the works and teachings of other medical practitioners of his time would have also served as important influences during his formative years.
