Problem
a) What seem to be the main principles of the Hippocratic theory of "regimen"? What kinds of ideas and assumptions are their recommendations about diet and activity/exercise based on? Provide at least one specific example from the readings.
b) Based on Thucydides' account of the plague of Athens, what kinds of inferences or conclusions can we draw about how ordinary Athenian citizens viewed the nature of disease (for example, what causes it, how it's transmitted, what effects it has, etc.)?
