Androcydes (physician) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Androcydes (physician)
Androcydes (or Androkydes, ''fl''. 4th century BCE) was a Greek physician and writer at the time of Alexander the Great. According to Pliny,〔''Historia naturalis'' 14.58.〕 he advised Alexander to moderate his drinking: Elsewhere, Androcydes is supposed to have recommended cabbage to counteract the effects of wine.〔Theophrastus, ''On Plants'' 4.16.6 (see Pliny, ''Historia naturalis'' 17.240 for similar advice), as cited by Waldemar Heckel, ''Who's Who in the Age of Alexander the Great'' (Blackwell, 2006), p. 289 (online. )〕 Some attempts have been made to identify this Androcydes with the Androcydes who wrote on Pythagoreanism,〔Gillian Clark, ''Iamblichus: On the Pythagorean Life'' (Liverpool University Press, 1989), p. 64, note 145 (online. )〕 as the advice regarding wine (bad) and cabbage (good)〔Discussed in the course of Cato the Elder’s effusions on the virtues of cabbage, ''On Agriculture'' 157, Bill Thayer’s edition at LacusCurtius (online. )〕 may reflect Pythagorean dietary discipline. Androcydes, if the same authority is meant, may not have confined himself to writing on medical topics. He is cited by Athenaeus〔Athenaeus, ''Deipnosophistae'' 6.258b; in context, the speaker Clearchus sets out this etymology in order to contradict it.〕 for an etymology of the Greek word ''kolax'', "flatterer," which is taken by one wry prosopographer as evidence of his association with Alexander's court.〔Waldemar Heckel, ''Who's Who in the Age of Alexander the Great'' (Blackwel, 2006), p. 28 (online. )〕 ==References==
