Euphro ̄nios of Athens (325 – 90 BCE)

culture (P, 1.ind.8, 10, 14–15, 17–18), in which he discussed winemaking (14.120), and,

Euruo ̄de ̄s (?) of Sicily (400 BCE – 100 CE)
Surgeon who like H understood how to cut for kidney stones so as to allow
rapid post-operative healing (R, CMG 3.1, p.112). Wellmann suggests Empedoklean
influence: Euruo ̄de ̄s’ method of rapid post-operative healing may have been an attempt
to reconcile the mandates of ritual purity with the normally bloody practice of surgery
(cf. P and H C, O). The name, elsewhere unattested,
may be a corruption of the archaic and classical Eurume ̄de ̄s/das (LGPN) or He ̄ro ̄ide ̄s, cited
from the 5th c. BCE, esp. in the West (cf. X, HG 3.4.1; LGPN).
