In Greek literature of the Classical period prior to the philosophers Plato and Aristotle, comedy, reflecting as it does ordinary life, offers a particularly rich source of evidence concerning dietary practices. The historians Herodotus and Thucydides, and later Xenophon, also provide evidence, in passing, about the regimen of both individuals and societies. But medical literature is the most important source we possess in regard to Greek regimen of the Classical period, both for people in good health and for those who are ill. Indeed, it is in the corpus of sixty or so medical treatises attributed to Hippocrates, an important part of which dates from the second half of the 5th and the first half of the 4th centuries, that the Greek word for regimen, δίαιτα, occurs most frequently. It is first attested in the 6th century in the lyric poetry of Alcaeus (once), then at the beginning of the 5th century in the lyric poetry of Pindar (on two occasions), and in the tragedies of Aeschylus (once).1 It continues to be attested in the second half of the 5th century in both tragedy and comedy, although without much of an increase in frequency: Sophocles (three instances), Euripides (five), and a mere seven times in Aristophanes, even though comedy provides detailed evidence concerning dietary regimen.2 It is with the historians that the term first begins to take on serious importance, particularly in the Ionic prose of Herodotus (where it occurs 19 times),3 rather more so than in the case of Thucydides (10 times).4 Yet even if one adds the twenty or so occurrences

Galen describes a syndrome he associates with an emotion called lypē, with specific symptoms and a course that may lead to humoral imbalance, disease, and death. Lypē is an emotion that encompasses distress at a loss, as the death of a close friend or the destruction of one's books by fire; but Galen also associates it with chronic worry about a future threat, and a physiology between the emotions of worry and fear (that is, 'anxiety'). Lypē can cause a progressive syndrome characterised by insomnia, fever, pallor, and weight loss that can kill patients or degenerate into psychotic illness. This syndrome can be described in modern terms as an anxiety disorder.

Compassion is considered an important quality for a successful physician today, but did ancient physicians display and value this emotion? How did they feel when faced with the pain and suffering of their patients? How did their patients' emotions affect their own? Many ancient physicians are not well-known for expressions of compassion in their writings; however, this seems to change in the second century AD. One medical writer who exemplifies this change is Soranus of Ephesus (c. 98-138 AD). In his Gynecology, there are a number of passages where compassion is addressed or expressed (such as the chapters on the qualities of the best midwife, the symptom of pica, childbirth, and superstition). The same points can be made of Soranus' On Chronic Diseases, preserved to some extent by the Latin version and adaptation by fifth century AD medical writer Caelius Aurelianus (see, for example, the chapters on chronic headache, mania and elephantiasis). Soranus and Caelius display compassion, understanding, and flexibility of approach when dealing with patient issues; they show themselves willing to change their medical technique when they see that it is doing more harm or discomfort than good. In Soranus and Caelius, we have an image of a physician who acknowledges and is aware of their patients' emotions, beliefs and attitudes, and who exhibits compassion for them.

: In the modern world, we are experiencing an epidemiological shift represented by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases relative to that of acute diseases: more people are living longer, with more diseases, than ever before in human history. How are we to understand and to respond to this change? A study of provision of cancer treatment in Western Australia, especially among Indigenous populations, can illuminate ways in which healthcare providers and societies might better understand the treatment of chronic disease: healthcare providers should take care to appreciate patient perspectives and beliefs about disease aetiology and treatment. Consideration of treatment of disease in the ancient Graeco-Roman world supports the view that effective healing and maintenance of patient wellbeing occurs when healers communicate clearly with their patients about disease and treatment progression, and when healers are open-minded about patients' utilisation of multiple treatment modalities.
