-Not all stories of Hippocrates portrayed him in a positive manner. In one legend, Hippocrates is said have fled after setting fire to a [[healing temple]] in Greece. [[Soranus (Greek Physician)|Soranus]] of [[Ephesus]], the source of this story, names the temple as the one of [[Knidos]]. However centuries later, the [[Byzantine]] Greek grammarian [[John Tzetzes]], writes that Hippocrates burned down his own temple, the [[Temple of Cos]], speculating that he did it to maintain a [[monopoly]] of medical knowledge. This account is very much in conflict with traditional estimations of Hippocrates's personality. Other legends tell of his [[resurrection]] of [[Augustus]]'s nephew; this feat was supposedly created by the erection of a statue of Hippocrates and the establishment of a professorship in his honor in Rome.<!--please try to break up/elucidate the preceeding sentence--><ref name=dictionary/><ref name=adams1011> {{Harvnb|Adams|1891|p=10–11}} </ref><ref name=margotta66> {{Harvnb|Margotta|1968|p=66}}<ref name=jones24> {{Harvnb|Jones|1868|p=24}} </ref>

 Some clinical symptoms and signs have been named after Hippocrates as he is believed to be the first person to describe those. [[Hippocratic face]] is the change produced in the countenance by death, or long sickness, excessive evacuations, excessive hunger, and the like. Clubbing, a deformity of the fingers and fingernails, is also known as Hippocratic fingers. [[Hippocratic succussion]] is the internal splashing noise of hydropneumothorax or pyopneumothorax. [[Hippocratic bench]] (a device which uses tension to aid in setting bones) and [[Hippocratic cap-shaped bandage]] are two devices named after Hippocrates.<ref name=Fishchenko> {{Harvnb|Fishchenko|1986}} </ref> [[Hippocratic Corpus]] and [[Hippocratic Oath]] are also his namesakes. The drink [[hypocras]] is also believed to be invented by Hippocrates.
