Chapter 67 The Arrival of Plato
Moreover, the Dionia Academy is also open to the outside world. Every day, there are fixed quotas to allow knowledge-loving Dionians to enter the school to listen. Therefore, many people have listened to lectures from the medical school, especially the class "A Brief History of Medical Development". Because its content is vivid and interesting, it does not involve professional medical terms, many people still remember it freshly. This course focuses on Hippocrates.
"Oh, he is the Hippocrates who is known as "There is Dionian Medical College in the West and Hippocrates in the East"!"
"I heard that he went in and out of the place where the plague occurred many times, seeking solutions to save the sick Greek people, and even disregarding his own lives... This is a good man with noble morality."
"I also heard that he set up a clinic on Cos Island, and did not charge medical fees for the poor, and saved many people..."
"The Greek city-states in the Eastern Mediterranean do not have hospitals in cities like ours, Dionia, and so many professionally trained doctors. Without Hippocrates, they would live in the fear of disease."
"No! I think it's mainly because the Greeks in the Eastern Mediterranean do not believe in Hades and cannot get its blessing!"
"Well, you're right."
...
The bystanders were talking excitedly, and spontaneously applauded.
"Teacher Hippocrates." Herps pointed to a large number of audiences applauding on the pier and said excitedly: "The people of Dionian are warmly welcome you, and we are also ready to listen to your lecture!"
Hippocrates waved his hand in a hurry and said modestly: "I dare not say that I am here to communicate and learn. I have heard that medicine is very prosperous in the Kingdom of Dionia, and there is also a king who is well versed in medicine and strongly supports medical research! I have carefully read the book "Human Anatomy" that you brought to me when you invited me before. You have already studied the bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels of the human body to such a profound level. It is amazing!
There is also the "The Theory of Human Blood Circulation" with only more than 100 words that solved my confusion over the years. Unfortunately, it was only a little bit before you started researching it?!... Alas, I should have come a long time ago! I should have come a long time ago!" Hippocrates couldn't help but sigh. Although he was old, his thinking was clear and his words were clear.
Stacey Cordas and Helps looked at each other and said with a smile: "The Theory of Human Blood Circulation is almost completed, and we are waiting for you to criticize and correct me. There are also our newly made mannequins, various new surgical tools, and tens of thousands of cases of various diseases... It is being placed in the Dionia Medical College. Waiting for you to watch, read, and communicate... We heard that you have in-depth research on skull surgery, the treatment of epilepsy, and the prevention and treatment of plague. We really want to have a lot of thoughts with you..."
Staceykodas's words made Hippocrates' eyes lit up. Before he could finish speaking, the old man grabbed Herps' hand with agility that was not as weak as a young man, and said excitedly: "Where is the Medical College of Dionia?! Take me there quickly! Take me there quickly!..."
He said, unable to wait to move forward, even forgot to introduce his two proud apprentices, and Helps helped him.
A large group of doctors walked through the port area, attracting the curious view of countless people, and passed by Marty Cris and Mentotic Els who were rushing to arrive.
The two veterans who rushed over (the two-digit president and vice president of the School of Mathematics also entered the Senate at the suggestion of Davers a few years ago). Although they were curious about why the people in the School of Medicine were all out, they did not have the heart to ask in detail at this moment. They rushed to the exit of the dock and asked the students waiting: "Are you here?"
The students shook their heads.
"The Clippers previously notified us that the passenger ship he was riding had entered Taranto Bay!" Marty Clippers scratched his head irritably.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer!" Mentotic Els comforted him.
The two were talking, but they didn't know that the people around them were surprised to see their appearance. Although they were not as famous as Herps and Stacikodas among the people, they were highly respected among the laborers in the port because the many perfect pulley booms were designed by Marty Clis, which greatly reduced their workload for loading and unloading goods and tried to avoid the possibility of injury. Moreover, many sailors at the port knew that Marty Clis was also using the buoyancy theory he invented, and was making experiments in which thin iron sheets were used to cover the wooden hull to make it float on the water...
So who are these two knowledgeable scholars going out together to welcome?! The people are full of expectations.
At this time, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance came to the front of the welcome team and asked, "Are you the ones responsible for convening the All-Greek Scholars Conference?"
"Yes, who are you?" asked a student.
The middle-aged man smiled: "My name is Seinstrian, and I am a scholar from Aldera."
Aldra?!Matikris, who heard the place name, immediately asked loudly: "What is your relationship with Democritus?"
"Democritus is my respected teacher!" Sainstrian said apologetically: "I want to apologize to you! The teacher originally agreed to attend this scholars' conference, but he was infected with cold a few days before departure and his health had not recovered well. He was 78 years old and was really not used to such a long-distance boat trip. Not only did his family persuade him, but even the members of the city-state came to persuade him. In the end, he had to give up his plan to attend the conference and sent me to Turiyi to conduct academic exchanges on his behalf, and hoped to get your understanding!"
"That's a pity! I also want to have a good exchange with him about the calculation methods and knowledge of cones, spheres... these geometric aspects." Marty Cris grabbed his hair regretfully.
Mentotic Els hurriedly said: "We are indeed not considerate enough. The elderly teacher Democritus is indeed not suitable for such long-distance trips. I believe he can send you, Sainstrian, and you must be his best student. We will listen to your wonderful speeches."
"That's right! That's right!" After all, Matychris has been the vice president of the School of Mathematics for so many years, and he doesn't have any emotional intelligence at all. He sincerely said to Sainstrian: "I look forward to communicating with you in mathematics, physics, astronomy and other knowledge. As for philosophy, Gorgias and others will definitely come to invite you enthusiastically, but that will have to wait until you give a speech and communicate in the School of Mathematics."
Sainstrian quickly said a few humility, and everyone quickly became familiar with each other and walked out of the port with a smile while talking and laughing.
Marty Cris' voice was very loud just now, and the bystanders heard the name "Democritus". A businessman from the Ionian region screamed: "Democritus! Dionya actually invited Democritus!"
Someone next to him hurriedly asked, "Who is Democritus?"
"You people in the Western Mediterranean may not know much, but the Eastern Mediterranean, especially the Euks, Asia Minor and Ionia, the Greeks in Ionia know him as long as they can read and read. He lives in Aldera, a Greek colonial city in Thrace, and is a very knowledgeable scholar. It is said that he knows everything about nature, philosophy, astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics, animals, medicine, law, politics... countless Greek youths went to Aldera and asked him for advice.
He was able to return with satisfaction. Even the King of Persia heard about his reputation and wrote a letter to invite him to give lectures in Babylon, but he refused. He also heard that although Democritus was a great scholar, he was humorous by nature, kind to others, and could tell very complex issues vividly and interestingly. Many Greeks who studied with him praised him after they came back, and even called him an omniscient person outside of God... "The merchant proudly told the story of Democritus that he heard.
The people around him were fascinated by Youran and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that this great scholar cannot come!"
"Look, Lord Ansitanos is here! There is also the eloquent Lycias!" The people of Turiy who were watching the fun exclaimed again.
As the original senator of the kingdom and the author of "The History of Great Greece", Ansitanos was deeply respected by the people. Lycias was also famous in Dionia. Not to mention the hymns he wrote at various celebrations every year, but in the trial of La Odiceen, he became famous in one fell swoop, which made many young people want to learn debates under him. Many people who committed the crime wanted to hire him to defend themselves. Now his residence is crowded every day.
Therefore, the people saluted and greeted them wherever they were through.
…………………………………
Plato got off the passenger ship and did not leave the dock in a hurry, but was carefully observing the situation at the port.
He found that although the port of Turiyi is not as large as that of Piraeus in Athens and is not very good at the location, its busyness is almost the same as that of Piraeus. The hygiene of the pier and the equipment of various facilities are much better than that of Piraeus, especially the booms erected on the pier, which attracted a lot of attention.
Various merchant ships and passenger ships enter and exit the port, dock at the dock, loading and unloading of cargo, how labor, sailors and passengers do not interfere with each other, can the entire dock operate effectively and maintain good order?... By observing these, you can see the level of a city-state's management affairs. Obviously, the busy but orderly scene at the port of Tuliyi made Plato nod secretly.
At this time, Spisips reminded next to him: "Teacher, it may be the people from Dionys Academy to welcome us."
When Plato heard this, he quickly turned his head and looked at him, and saw a man strode towards him shouting to him: "Plato, welcome you! Welcome to Turiy!"
