Iatromantis
Iatromantis〔Ancient Greek: ἰατρόμαντις from ἰατρός, ''iatros'' "healer" and μάντις, ''mantis'' "seer".〕 is a Greek word whose literal meaning is most simply rendered "physician-seer," or "medicine-man". The iatromantis, a form of Greek shaman, is related to other semimythical figures such as Abaris, Aristeas, Epimenides, and Hermotimus.
In the classical period, Aeschylus uses the word to refer to Apollo〔Aeschylus, Eumenides l. 62.〕 and to Asclepius, Apollo's son.〔Aeschylus, Suppliant Women l. 263.〕
According to Peter Kingsley, ''iatromantis'' figures belonged to a wider Greek and Asian shamanic tradition with origins in Central Asia. A main ecstatic, meditative practice of these healer-prophets was incubation (ἐγκοίμησις, ''enkoimesis''). More than just a medical technique, incubation reportedly allowed a human being to experience a fourth state of consciousness different from sleeping, dreaming, or ordinary waking: a state that Kingsley describes as “consciousness itself” and likens to the ''turiya'' or ''samādhi'' of the Indian yogic traditions. Kingsley identifies the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Parmenides as an ''iatromantis''. This identification has been described as "fascinating" but also as "very difficult to assess as a truth claim".〔Mitchell, Miller, "The Proem of Parmenides" in Sedley, David (ed.), ''Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy, Volume 30'' (Oxford University Press, 2006), p. 15, note 24.〕
