Galen developed the theory of the four humors by building upon the teachings of Hippocrates and other ancient Greek physicians. He believed that the body's health and temperament were influenced by the balance of four bodily fluids—blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. Galen's work furthered the understanding of medical theory during the ancient Roman Empire and the Middle Ages.
