What did Hippocrates do to try and cure the 4 humours?
This is the main example of one of Hippocrates cures.
In the summer when people became hot and red, it was thought they had too much blood in their system. To balance their humours again they would use bloodletting. Bloodletting is when you purposely cut your self so that you bleed.
Hippocrates believed that if you were ill one of your four humours were out of balance. He believed the body was made up of four humours, blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile; although no one knows what black bile was. If you came to him ill, they would try and balance your four humours. In the different seasons he noticed different symptom's, for example in summer you would be red and hot, therefore he thought your blood was out of balance. He would either increase, or decrease your amount of blood. If he believed you had too much blood he would use something called bloodletting, this would get rid of some of your blood, and re balance your four humours.

The Greeks were an ancient civilization of people who lived on the isle of Greece in the medditeranean sea. The Greeks were renowned for their arts and politics. They were the first civilization to form a democracy, voting for their leaders instead of having a long line of kings. At some point in time, the Romans,(from Italy) the strongest military wise civilization of their time, came along and conquered the Greeks, starting their huge empire. But when they conquered it, they liked the style of art, language, and politics of the Greeks. They then copied their art and culture and built the greatest empire ever built in that area. So when you read about the rennaciannse, the archetects who made those beautiful statues are from Italy, the descendants of the Romans. And the style and beauty of those statues comes from the Greeks. So Leonardo and Michaelangolo better thank the Greeks for all they have accompilished!

Greece is an amazing civilization which contributed many items and ideas to our civilization. The additions and achievements are too numerous to count but there are a couple I am familiar with. For example: invention of democracy, the Greek Olympics, and creating the columns. Greeks had an advantage with natural protection from the rest of the world like mountains, rivers and seas. This gave them time to advance their arts and civilization rather than focus on war and defense. PENIS AND SEX
The invention o democracy is an invention that runs our country an life. Democracy is the idea of the citizens having a say in what happens and who their leader is. Today our country uses a democratic republic. Just recently people were voting for our US leader, the president. The founder of this idea was Solon, the "father of democracy". Pericles was a powerful ancient Greek statesman from Athens, Greece. We have a system of justice and they had one too. Our systems are very closely related. The Greek trial was held outdoors for fear of being poisoned with a bad soul and the vote was counted by majority vote. Today all of the votes need to be the same. There could even be up to 2,000 jurors! Both the prosecutor and the accused had 1 speech to tell their side of the story. Their were no lawyers either. This is where the US differs. The "judge had no control of the outcome of whether the accused was guilty or not. They were there to only keep order. Some of the penalties were lightened from death to debt. Solon is a legendary figure.
A famous modern and ancient sporting event are the Greek Olympics. Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern Olympic Games in 1921. The Olympic flag and flame are some of the most important pieces of the games. The flag has 5 circles each one was colored either blue, black, red, yellow or green. Each flag in the world has at least 1 of the colors on the Olympic flag. The Olympic flame is lit in a torch at the beginning of the games in Olympia by the sun and is then passed from runner to runner until it reaches the stadium in the hosting city. The torch then lights a gigantic bowl in the stadium. The flame is ignited at the conclusion of the games. The flame represents purity and striving for perfection. It also shows the connection between the ancient and modern games. There were no wars during the games and everyone was everyone's alli. Women could only compete in the chariot race for anyone competing in the games did not wear any type of clothing or covering. The Olympic games are still continuous and they will be for many years to come.
Greeks, especially the Athenians, were experts in the arts category. One of their structural achievements was the columns. There are 3 types: Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian. The Ionic column has a swirl design. This design column can be found on the Jefferson Memorial and also the temple for Athena in Athens. The Doric column is a basic more squarish design. Doric columns were used on the Parthenon building which was built by Pericles. The other example is the Corinthian column which can be found on the Charlotte City Hall building in North Carolina. The Corinthian column is more decorative and it usually has floral patterns on it. All 3 of these columns have ridges along the shaft (middle section of the column). You can find these columns under arches and in the front of some modern houses. These columns weren't just for decoration they were also for sturdiness. In Greece their roofs were made of marble, a very heavy material for a roof. This structure was very smart for the ancient times.
I could go on for hours about how amazing each accomplishment of the Greeks was. These are just 3 of the ancient genius discoveries the Greeks have contributed. You might not realize it but the United States of America is a relatively new country. Most everything you see is a borrowed idea from a different civilization. Everywhere you look there are many, many achievements from many, many cultures. The columns, Olympic Games and democracy are 3 of them which in their own small ways have made this country what it is today. Greece is a very big part of American heritage.

How did the Greeks influence roman religion?
When the Romans conquered Greece, not only did they discover that the Greeks had much to offer (traditions, art, architecture, knowledge, literature, etc.), but the Romans eventually adopted and built upon many of the Greek traditions.
In terms of religion, the Romans pretty much complete adopted the Greek gods and religious views. All the Greek gods have a Roman name as well, Zeus to Jupiter, Poseidon to Neptune, Aphrodite to Venus, etc. It wasn't until the decline of the Roman empire around 300 CE that the Roman state religion took a major shift. More specifically in 313 CE, Constantine I legalized Christianity in his Edict of Milan, and in 380 CE, Theodosius proclaims Catholicism as the official religion of Rome.
The Romans basically took the Greek gods, "cleaned them up" (the Greek gods were not the most model of deities) and gave them new names.
