About this episode
This episode discusses the lack of Seleucid patronage in philosophy compared to their Hellenistic neighbors and explores their contributions to ancient medicine.
Unfortunately for the study of Seleucid philosophy, the Seleucid kings were not major patrons of the lovers of wisdom as their Hellenistic neighbors were, and the works of the philosophers they did patronize have not survived. However, somewhat more can be said of Seleucid patronage of ancient medicine. IntelligentSpeechOnline.com – Intelligent Speech Online 2026 Tickets available now!
