Heraclides of Smyrna

For other people named Heracleides, see Heraclides (disambiguation).

Heracleides (Ancient Greek: Ἡρακλείδης) of Smyrna was physician, mentioned by Diogenes Laërtius[1] as one of the followers of Hicesius, the head of the Erasistratean school of medicine at Smyrna, who must therefore probably have lived in the first century BCE.
