点评:Monday 6th July we spotted this statue which is located in a small park, surrounded by leafy trees, just off the main port road, Akti Kountouriotou
The bronze statue is in tribute to Hippocrates an ancient Greek physician during the period (c 460 – c 370 BC). He is still considered to be the Father of Medicine.
The statue depicts Hippocrates in a seating position while holding a scroll in his right hand. He is surrounded by the figures of two young men and a woman holding a child. It is possible that they are either patients or students listening to Hippocrates's medical advice or teachings.
The statue itself is roughly 1.8 metres (6 feet) high. It stands on octagonal three level stone plinth which raises the overall height to about 3 metres.
There is an inscription on the bench on which the woman is sitting, it reads as follows:-
"I AM A JUDGMENT OF THE LORD IS BENEFICIAL. DOING WITH POWER AND JUDGMENT DO NOT DEFEND AND DO NOT BE A PERSON IN A STATE OF AFFAIRS".
Very nearby located in Platanos Square is the Hippocrates Plane Tree (reviewed separately) under which it is believed that Hippocrates sat to teach his students.
翻译:7月6日星期一,我们在Akti Kountouriotou这条港口主干道旁发现了这座雕像。它坐落在一个小公园里,周围绿树成荫。
这座青铜雕像是为了纪念古希腊医生希波克拉底而设立的(约公元前460年—公元前370年)。他至今仍被尊为“医学之父”。
雕像中的希波克拉底正端坐着,右手握着一卷卷轴。他的身旁还有两名年轻男子以及一名抱着孩子的女子。这些人有可能是正在聆听希波克拉底的医疗建议或教诲的病人或学生。
这座雕像本身高约1.8米(6英尺)。它矗立在一个八边形、共三层的石制基座上,使得整体高度达到约3米。
那位女子所坐的长椅上刻有铭文,内容如下:
“我是上帝的裁决,此裁决是有益的。以力量与公正行事吧;切勿偏袒,也莫要卷入纷乱之事。”就在附近的普拉塔诺斯广场上有一棵希波克拉底悬铃木(另有单独介绍),据信希波克拉底曾坐在这棵树下给学生们授课。
