Chapter 66: Hippocrates Arrives
After hearing this, Croto KatΓ‘cΓ‘x also realized something, and asked humbly: "Father, how can I control my temper well?" β
"The main thing is that you have to be confident! This self-confidence comes from your abilities and your strength. Ability can be acquired through continuous learning and practice, and I believe that you can deal with any problem that arises. And strength, you see-" Davers turned around, pointed to the towering palace, and said in a deep voice: "Behind me stands the mighty Ionian Legion, with a million people who love me, and the insults of those patriarchs are like earth dogs facing a lion, and they can't hurt me in the slightest, so why should I pay attention, and I can also take the opportunity to show my kindness and generosity......"
Davers taught his children unreservedly, and Crotokatuques thoughtfully.
After walking for a while, Davers suddenly sighed: "Time flies, you have all grown up, and in a blink of an eye, Cynthia is married, it's really lively!" β¦β¦ Consider that when I was your age, I was still herding cattle and sheep in Thessaly. At that time, there was a girl a few years older than me in the neighbor's house, who took good care of me, and I ...... I like her more......"
"And then?" Crotokatax's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.
"What?" Davers deliberately played dumb.
"That girl!"
"Later......," said Davers, pretending to reminisce, "she married my employer's son, and I married your two mothers...... Now that I think about it, I was too young at that time, and I was the only young girl I could reach, and liking her was just a youthful impulse and gratitude. In fact, she never liked me, and the true marriage that Eros had given me did not come until I met your mother......"
Davers pretended to be emotional, and Crotokatus fell silent.
The father and son walked quietly up the hill, but instead of going straight into the mansion, Davers turned around and looked down on the city of Turiyi under the hill, and Crotocators had to stop his progress.
It's late at night, and it's almost impossible to see the lights in the city anymore. In the night sky, the bright moon hangs, emitting a bright silver light, which is not obscured by clouds and mist, and it looks brighter and brighter. Under the shroud of the moonlight, the houses of all sizes stretch into the distance, quiet and serene, with the occasional barking of dogs, echoing leisurely in the night sky.
"What a city!" Faced with this situation, Davers said with emotion: "Croto, do you know where your name came from? β
"Know! When I was born, the army of Crotone attacked, and your father led the army to defeat them and force them to sign a covenant, hence my name! Krotocatax replied with pride in his words.
"I, the king, have been elected by the people, and they want me to lead them in defending their beautiful homeland! Someday, when I get old, this position will be inherited by you! Defend the security of the kingdom and the interests of the people, so that the cities of the kingdom will always be as peaceful and tranquil as the Turii tonight...... This will be your responsibility! Davers pointed to the city below the hill with his left hand, pressed his right hand on Crotto Kataz's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "This is a great responsibility! It is about the lives and happiness of millions of people in the Kingdom of Dionia! Kid, you don't have much free time, you have to be ready for it! β¦β¦β
Davers's words made Crotocatux feel unusually heavy, and he looked at the quiet city at the foot of the mountain......
After a long time, there was gradually more perseverance in his somewhat confused eyes......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In April in Turiyi, the people were happy. After the lively celebration of Hera and the marriage of Princess Cynthia, the All-Greek Scholars Conference was held.
While most of the hard-working, hard-working Dionian populace didn't care much about it, it was undoubtedly an unprecedented scholarly event for scholars, teachers, students, and even the knowledge-loving people of the kingdom and even Greece. They poured into Turii from all corners of the kingdom, even from all sides of the Mediterranean, bringing the whole region of Turriy alive once again. Not only were the hotels in the city and the port full, but even many of the people of Turiyi had accepted outsiders to stay in their homes, thus making a small amount of money.
Consumption grows, business taxes skyrocket, and Turij enjoys the benefits of being the central city of the kingdom.
Europes, a merchant from Agrigento, who often came to Turriy to buy large quantities of wine and then brought it to the southern coast of Sicily to sell, was very familiar with the port of Turriy, but when he got to the docks today, he found that the situation around him was very different from the past.
On the west side of the avenue out of the dock, there are many young people in white robes looking at the pier, holding a wooden sign in their hands, which reads "Dionian Academy", and there are a lot of people around them, almost blocking the west entrance and exit of the pier. A patrol team was nearby, and instead of stopping them to ensure the smooth flow of the road, they instructed the laborers who were transporting the goods to detour to the east side of the wharf.
Uropus, who had been doing business in Turriy for many years, knew that there were only two kinds of people in Turi, who often wore the same white robes, one was the temple priest, and the other was the school's teacher and the school's students (the outstanding young students of the Dionian Lyceum were required to teach at the school). And these white-robed people in the port obviously do not have the solemn and peaceful temperament of the Hades priest, and the most likely is the teacher.
"Excuse me, is there anything big going on lately in Turii? How could so many teachers come to the docks? Europez curiously asked a member of the crowd who was also looking at the pier. As a businessman, curiosity is an essential quality so that one can spot business opportunities in it.
"You're not a Dionian, are you?! Now who in the kingdom does not know that the Dionian Academy in Turiyi is about to host an all-Greek conference of scholars, which is a sensational event for the whole of Greece! The Turii man said with great pride: "In the past few days, many famous scholars from various city-states have arrived in Turii, and those young men have come to meet them. Yesterday I also saw Lord Ansitanus personally come to greet Corbis from Thebes and Antisthenes from Athens, I wonder which famous scholar will be here today? β¦β¦β
As he was talking, he suddenly looked surprised: "Why are the honorable Lord Phelps and Lord Stascikodas here?!" β
At this moment, these two Ionian senators, who had saved countless lives and were highly respected (Stascikodas had been elected to the Senate at the suggestion of Davers a few years ago) and were already over 50 years old, hurried to the dock with a group of doctors. Not only did the public wonder, but even the young teachers who were tasked with welcoming scholars were amazed: who would be the scholars they would be able to greet these two adults who could spend precious time seeing doctors and researching here?!
Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the pier pier where Phelps and the others had arrived.
I saw a gray-haired old man coming down from the passenger ship that had just docked, and with the support of others, he walked slowly to the shore.
Phelps looked at the comer, and his heart was full of emotion: he thought that it was because of this old man's inspiration that he decided to pursue a career in medicine, and was also going to Kos Island to learn medicine from him, but he met Davers by mistake, and instead achieved who he is today.
But even today, even after he has achieved fame, his heart is still full of respect for this old man.
Herps hurried up to meet him, shouting excitedly, "Teacher Hippocrates! β
The old man opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the group of people who hurried towards him suspiciously: "Are you?" β
"My name is Herps, and this is Stacericodas, our doctor of Dionia!" Phelps made a loud introduction.
Hippocrates put his right hand to his ear, listened intently, and then smiled: "Oh, you are the authors of Human Anatomy." You're amazing! Please don't call me teacher, you are my teacher! β
"Teacher Hippocrates, don't say that. In the tradition of our Dioonia Lyceum School of Medicine, any doctor who has rich medical experience and has unique medical insights should be honored as a teacher, not to mention that you are a pioneer and pioneer who allows us to get rid of ignorance and explore the source of disease with careful thinking, and the "Doctor's Oath" you wrote is remembered by all our Dionian doctors, you are our well-deserved teacher! β
After Phelps finished speaking emotionally, the doctors behind him recited in unison: "I will keep my vows and be unswerving!"
I have to respect my teachers like my parents.
To my students, I want to impart medical knowledge with care.
I will do my best to take medical measures that I believe will be beneficial to the patient and will not cause pain and harm to the patient.
I don't give poison to anyone, and I don't instruct anyone to use it.
I want to practice medicine and live innocently, no matter who I go into, just to heal the disease, not to do whatever I want, not to accept bribes, not to seduce the opposite sex, and I will never divulge my private life that I see or hear that should not be spread ......"
The loud voices of the doctors rang out on the docks and reached the ears of the onlookers, and one of the teachers excitedly shouted, "I know who he is!" Hippocrates! He's Hippocrates! β
Among the students who are on the task of meeting today,Mainly students from the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Mathematics,But the academy does not restrict them from auditing the courses of other colleges,Even allow them to change the direction of their study after a period of study,Find out what you really are really interested in.γ
